Character-driven series with an element of mystery and danger are a Cuse hallmark, especially post “Lost” as he wrote for A&E’s “Bates Motel” and FX’s “The Strain.” He broke into TV on “Crime Story” in 1986, before forming a writing partnership with screenwriter Jeffrey Boam that led to the cult Fox western “The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.” Cuse went on to create “Nash Bridges” and “Martial Law” before partnering with Damon Lindelof to be co-showrunners on ABC’s “Lost.” This year saw the premiere of Amazon’s “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan,” which took some five months to shoot and cost more than $8 million per episode. Also coming is the long-gestating adaptation of comic-book series “Locke & Key,” which just received a series order from Netflix.
