Cuse

In March, Cuse signed a new multiyear first-look deal with Amazon Studios, which had previously employed him as showrunner for the first two seasons of series “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan.” But the Harvard-educated writer-producer, who won an Emmy for his work on the long-running ABC series “Lost,” still had one more project to burn off that he made under his previous overall pact with ABC Signature — the Apple TV+ limited series “Five Days at Memorial,” starring Vera Farmiga, Cherry Jones and Cornelius Smith Jr., which debuted to widespread acclaim in August. Written (based on a book by Sheri Fink), directed and showrun by Cuse and John Ridley, it follows doctors and nurses as they struggle to treat patients at a New Orleans hospital that is without power in the aftermath of 2005’s Hurricane Katrina.
