Keanu Reeves might star in "The Devil in the White City" series

The Devil in the White City is coming to the screen, and Keanu Reeves might be starring.

The adaptation of Erik Larson’s true-crime book has been in the works for a few years now, always with Leonardo DiCaprio as executive producer.

But Deadline’s reports (shared by Literary Hub) of a potential Reeves role are new.

Stay tuned to learn which role Reeves would take — The Devil in the White City focuses on both serial killer Henry H. Holmes, who used the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair as a hunting ground, and fair director of works Daniel Hudson Burnham.

The limited-series adaptation is being produced by Paramount TV Studios and will run on Hulu.
