Emmy-nominated Gordon Smith (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) is set to pen the series adaptation and showrun the project for SPT, where he is under an overall deal.The memoir of Sterry’s time as the MC at the world-famous male strip club is a window into the girls-just-want-to-have-fun, greed-is-good, party-all-the time, coked-up world of 1980’s America through the eyes of Manhattan’s hottest show: Chippendales, where women rule the roost and men get rich and famous (or infamous).
