While Scorsese's picture transposed the Hong Kong-based film Infernal Affairs to deal with undercover intrigue between the FBI and local Irish mob in Boston, the Amazon show will be set in Chicago, Illinois amid warring drug gangs. According to Deadline, its plot will revolve around a young cop going undercover inside a Latino gang, which plants their own man inside the police department.

The series will be written and executive produced by Jason Richman, creator of network police drama Detroit 1-8-7. While no cast or other creative roles have been announced, the production houses Vertigo Entertainment, Initial Entertainment Group and Plan B Entertainment, which all helped create Scorsese's film, are returning to produce the show.

Update: A previous version of this article incorrectly asserted that The Departed was based on Internal Affairs, rather than Infernal Affairs. We apologize for the error.
