HBO miniseries Criminal Justice which was put on hold for months following the death of James Gandolfini of The Sopranos, now returns with Robert De Niro taking over the lead role. A New York City crime drama based on the BBC drama of the same title by Peter Mofflat in 2008, the miniseries is about an attorney who ambitiously takes a case of a Pakistani accused of murder.
Production is said to begin in March and James remains an executive producer on the project posthumously, with Steven Zaillian as the director. Riz Ahmed, Bill Camp, Payman Maadi, and Poorna Jagannathan will be starring in the series.
