Based on The Irish Independent podcast, I\u2019m Not Here to Hurt You,\u00a0Highmore plays an upstanding family man who, after killing someone in a bicycle accident, spirals into a life of crime, yet is driven by the noble but futile goal of never hurting anyone ever again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tSony Pictures Television will distribute the series in the U.S. and internationally, coming out of the Los Angeles Screenings. \u201cWe weren\u2019t quite done with each other after all. We\u2019re thrilled to be collaborating again, excited to return to Canada alongside our partners at Bell and Blink49 Studios, and grateful for Sony\u2019s continued support. And now we have to get to work,\u201d Shore and Highmore, who previously worked together for seven seasons on\u00a0The Good Doctor, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tShore and Highmore co-created the drama, with Highmore serving as a non-writing executive producer alongside Claire Londy for Alfresco Pictures and Erin Gunn for ShoreZ. After the success of the Irish podcast about an academic who, after a disaster, became a \u201cpolite bank robber,\u201d Sony Pictures Television in 2024 optioned the screen adaptation rights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t\u201cDavid and Freddie have an extraordinary creative partnership built on trust, collaboration, and a shared passion for powerful storytelling. They have a unique ability to create richly layered characters who are imperfect, complicated, and deeply relatable, the kind of characters audiences genuinely care about. We couldn\u2019t be more excited to reunite with them for\u00a0I\u2019m Not Here to Hurt You\u00a0and are grateful to our partners at Bell Media, Crave, and Blink49 Studios,\u201d Lauren Stein, executive vp and head of creative at Sony Pictures Television, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t\u201cDavid Shore and Freddie Highmore have created a truly compelling and emotionally complex series with enormous international potential,\u201d John Morayniss, CEO, Blink49 Studios, said in his own statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tHighmore is represented by Artists Rights Group and CAA, and has a first-look deal with Sony Pictures Television.
