\n\tFreddie Highmore<\/a> and David Shore<\/a> are getting back into business together.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Good Doctor pair are attached to I\u2019m Not Here to Hurt You, a drama series co-commission for Canadian streamer Crave<\/a> and Sony Pictures Television<\/a> (SPT). Blink49 Studios is producing with SPT the distributor in the U.S. and Canada.<\/p>\n

\n\tShore and Highmore are the co-creators, with the latter in the leading role. The series follows an upstanding family man who spirals into a life of crime after killing someone in a bicycle accident, driven by the noble but futile goal of never hurting anyone ever again. The show\u00a0is inspired by the true story of the man who became known as \u2018Ireland\u2019s most polite bank robber,\u2019 and\u00a0The Irish Independent\u00a0podcast of the same name.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe weren\u2019t quite done with each other after all,\u201d said Shore and Highmore in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to be collaborating again, excited to return to Canada alongside our partners at Bell and Blink49 Studios, and grateful for Sony\u2019s continued support. And now we have to get to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe pair had teamed for seven seasons of ABC medical The Good Doctor, in which Highmore played a autistic surgical resident with genius-level abilities.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis new series marks an exciting moment for Crave as we continue to build our portfolio of compelling, premium original content with international appeal,\u201d said Justin Stockman, VP, Global Content, Bell Media. \u201cFreddie\u2019s ability to embody complex characters is second to none, and we\u2019re delighted to collaborate with celebrated Canadian creative, David Shore, on our first-ever project with Sony Pictures Television.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDavid and Freddie have an extraordinary creative partnership built on trust, collaboration, and a shared passion for powerful storytelling,\u201d added Lauren Stein, EVP, Head of Creative, Sony Pictures Television. \u201cThey have a unique ability to create richly layered characters who are imperfect, complicated, and deeply relatable, the kind of characters audiences genuinely care about. We couldn\u2019t be more excited to reunite with them for\u00a0I\u2019m Not Here to Hurt You\u00a0and are grateful to our partners at Bell Media, Crave, and Blink49 Studios.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDavid Shore and Freddie Highmore have created a truly compelling and emotionally complex series with enormous international potential,\u201d said John Morayniss, CEO, Blink49 Studios. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to collaborate with Bell Media and Sony Pictures Television on\u00a0I\u2019m Not Here to Hurt You\u00a0to bring this exceptional story to audiences around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe show is being added to SPT\u2019s LA Screenings<\/a> presentation today, where clients will get an exclusive preview of the series. Highmore is also attached to another new SPT show on the slate, Chocolate Wars, which was officially unveiled<\/a> at Britbox and UKTV this week.<\/p>\n

\n\tI\u2019m Not Here to Hurt You\u00a0comes from Shore and Highmore, who also serve as non-writing executive producers alongside Claire Londy for the latter\u2019s Alfresco Pictures<\/a> and Erin Gunn for the former\u2019s ShoreZ<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor Crave owner Bell, which was the commissioner of Heated Rivalry, Kelsey-Ann\u00a0Maria\u00a0is Production Executive; Adam Feigen is Development Executive; Sarah Fowlie is Head of Production, Original Programming; Rachel Goldstein-Couto is Head of Development, Original Programming; Carlyn Klebuc is General Manager, Original Programming; and Stockman is Vice President, Global Content.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor Blink49 Studios, Pancho Mansfield is President, Global Scripted Television; Carolyn Newman is Executive Vice President, Global Scripted Television; Tashi Bieler is Senior Vice President, Head of Production; Yogita Puri is Executive Vice President, Head of Business Affairs; and Kate Sangster-Poole is Senior Vice President, Business & Legal Affairs.<\/p>\n
