As previously reported, Amazon is teaming up with Bob Weir for a biography series focused on the career of the Grateful Dead, and the project now has a writer in Jonathan Herman, who recently gained fame for his Oscar-nominated script for the N.W.A biopic Straight Outta Compton, Deadline Hollywood reports (via JamBase).

The new series, which has yet to be titled, will focus on the 2003 book by longtime Dead roadie Steve Parish, Home Before Daylight: My Life on the Road with the Grateful Dead. Weir will act as executive producer on the project, along with overseeing all the series’ music. Grateful Dead manager Bernie Cahill and his talent company ROAR will also executive produce.

The news comes as Amazon plans to release their anticipated Amir Bar-Lev-directed and Martin Scorcese-produced Grateful Dead documentary, Long Strange Trip, on May 26. The streaming service is also working on a Bob Dylan bio series, Time Out of Mind.
