The upcoming series will be created and written by the creator of the award-winning Netflix series 'House Of Cards', Beau Willimon.
Not only that, Malaysia's very own Michelle Yeoh will be serving as a producer for the show.

Jho Low's expensive date
Earlier this month, Jho Low made the headlines once again when popular model Emily Ratajkowski revealed in her memoir that the 40-year-old financier paid her USD25,000 (RM103,882.93) to accompany him to the Super Bowl, Daily Mail reported.Ratajkowski made the revelation in an interview with UK’s Sunday Times Magazine to promote her memoir 'My Body'.

Ratajowski told the publication that she had no idea on what was expected of her during her outing with the disgraced banker.
According to the interview, “she was unsure of why she was there, how long she had to stay and who her agent had to check with at the end of the night to find out whether she could leave”.
“I was on the clock,” she was quoted as saying.
However, Ratajowski did not mention which edition of the Super Bowl she attended with Low.
