The Brooklyn-set potential series follows a decade-long relationship between an unstable mafia captain and a rogue federal agent, each violating the strict codes of their respective organisations.
The drama examines the power the Wall Street era had on the mafia and the FBI.
Johnson and DiCaprio will exec produce along with Appian Way's Jennifer Davisson, Charles Pacheco, Jennifer Erwin, Dan Pearson and another Ray Donovan member Bryan Zuriff.
