Jesse Eisenberg is moving into television. Coming off 'The Debut,' his A24 musical comedy starring Julianne Moore that closed the London Film Festival, Eisenberg is preparing a TV series, also for A24. He wrote it and will executive produce and direct, and the show is expected to be taken out to buyers in the coming weeks. Peter Rice is producing. Eisenberg also told The Hollywood Reporter what the upcoming series is about, without specifics being disclosed in the coverage. 'The Debut' drew a well-received screening at the Royal Festival Hall, where Eisenberg and Moore praised each other before the packed audience.

Why it matters：A hot filmmaker following a festival hit into a TV sale shows how A24 keeps converting theatrical prestige into episodic business, and how talent now moves fluidly between film and streaming buyers.
