Fox Pulls Plug on Egyptian Drama 'Hieroglyph'June 30, 2014
Fox is pulling the plug on Hieroglyph.
The ambitious Egyptian drama, which was one of several projects Fox greenlighted straight to series, is no longer moving forward due to creative reasons, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Only the first episode had been filmed on the pricey Hieroglyph before writers began breaking scripts and stories, which weren't meeting a certain level creatively, for the rest of the season. Filming on the remaining 12 episodes was expected to start later this year. Hieroglyph was expected to premiere on Fox in early 2015.
Set in the world of ancient Egypt, Hieroglyph follows a notorious thief who is plucked from prison to serve the Pharaoh, forcing him to navigate palace intrigue, seductive concubines, criminal underbellies and divine sorcerers, as he races to stop the downfall of one of history’s greatest civilizations.
