The A&E network is partnering with executive producers Mark Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson, Kevin Harrison and Bill Thompson on the unscripted pilot “Teamsters” (wt), featuring the Teamsters Local 25 in Boston, according to a news release.
The series will be set in the real-life world that was underscored in “The Fighter” and “The Departed,” and will give viewers a first-hand look at the union which battles for the rights of its 11,000 members.
