The upcoming limited series about Lou Pearlman, depicting the life and downfall of the infamous music mogul, has found its titular Pearlman: British actor Toby Jones. Pearlman was best known for creating and managing boy bands such as the Backstreet Boys and NSYNC.
In what we’re hearing was an extremely competitive situation, Magnet Management and Condé Nast have secured the rights to an article published in The New Yorker this week, “We Live in the Pop-Culture World That Lou Pearlman Created” by John Seabrook with plans to develop the story into a limited series.
