Bill Edgar's 'The Coffin Confessor' Memoir Being Adapted as TV Series by Fifth Season

The wild true story of an Australian man whose unique profession sees him hired by people to fulfil their final requests after they have died — a job that sometimes involves crashing their funerals to reveal deep secrets — is being adapted for TV.

Fifth Season has secured the right to the memoir 'The Coffin Confessor' by Bill Edgar, billed as a 'one-of-a-kind professional, a man on a mission to make good on these last requests on behalf of his soon-to-be-deceased clients.'

Ted Gold and Khoby Rowe will serve as executive producers on the series, now in development.
