Apple Worldwide Video is in the news once again with the latest being that M. Night Shyamalan has been given a straight-to-series order to produce a psychological thriller series from writer Tony Basgallop. The plot details for the series are being kept under wraps. The half-hour series has received a 10-episode order, with Shyamalan also set to direct the first episode.

The series will be produced by Shyamalan's Blinding Edge Pictures with Ashwin Rajan serving as executive producer. Jason Blumenthal, Todd Black and Steve Tisch of Escape Artists will also executive produce, with Taylor Latham co-executive producing.

Variety further notes in their report that "This project will be Shyamalan's second foray into television. He previously executive produced the Fox series "Wayward Pines," which recently ended after two seasons. He most recently wrote, produced, and directed the hit film 'Split' and is preparing the sequel "Glass," both of which tie into his 2000 film "Unbreakable." He is also behind blockbusters like 'The Sixth Sense' and 'Signs.'"
