“Lucifer” star Kevin Alejandro is set to lead a limited series adaptation of Katie Rogin’s 2018 novel “Life During Wartime,” TheWrap has learned exclusively.
Alejandro Films Productions, founded by Kevin Alejandro, Leslie Alejandro and Dani de Jesus, and Craig Anderson Productions have jointly secured the rights to Rogin’s book, which follows Jim Vargas, who suffers from Ptsd and survivor’s guilt due to the blame he assumes for his brother’s death on 9/11.
In the 2008 backdrop of the financial crisis, Vargas’ Iraq war veteran niece Nina Vargas goes missing after a nightmare-ish party with other vets. When no one searches for the missing vet he decides to investigate alongside her friend and former army nurse Lise Sheridan.
Kevin Alejandro — who has starred alongside Tom Ellis on “Lucifer” throughout the show’s first five seasons, the most recent of which dropped Friday on Netflix — will star as Vargas.
