The fever over "Heated Rivalry" may be breaking, but series creator Jacob Tierney isn't done dominating television yet.
On March 5, Netflix announced Tierney would write, direct, and executive produce "Alexander," a new series from the streamer set to lay bare "the little-known story of Alexander the Great and his tutor, Aristotle."
Michael Costigan and Jason Bateman from Aggregate Films are slated to executive produce the series alongside Tierney and Brendan Brady, who also lent a hand for "Heated Rivalry." The show is based on "The Golden Mean," a 2009 novel by Annabel Lyon that paints the famous philosopher as the curious and sometimes frustrated teacher of Alexander, whom he hopes will pull back the desire to conquer inherited from his father.

"I fell in love with Annabel Lyon's book 'The Golden Mean' years ago and have been dreaming of telling this story ever since," Tierney told Tudum, Netflix's in-house publication. "Brendan and I could't be more excited to be partnering with Aggregate and Netflix to bring this insanely compelling world to life."
