Lear has frequently discussed Guess Who Died publicly. He most recently organized a table read for it at the Austin Film Festival last year — featuring June Squibb, among others.
Tolan, whose series also include The Larry Sanders Show and Murphy Brown, which earned him Emmy Awards, recently executive produced Sony TV’s WGN America drama series Outsiders. He is repped by CAA and attorney Ira Schreck.
Lear, the writer-producer behind such classic TV sitcoms as All In The Family, Sanford And Son, One Day At A Time, The Jeffersons, Good Times and Maude, was recently selected as one of the 2017 recipients of the Kennedy Center Honors.
Guess Who Died marks the first big commitment for indie studio Sony TV this broadcast buying season. At NBC, the studio has drama series The Blacklist, Timeless and The Night Shift.
