- Codes of Conduct was supposed to be McQueen's next project after 12 Years a Slave
- It was a miniseries about a young black man who manages to social climb his way into wealthy white New York society
- After Vinyl was such a critical and commercial failure for HBO they pulled the plug on the series, despite the pilot already having been shot
- The producer Iain Canning said that McQueen is still very committed to continuing with the series. They are searching for a new partner to work with, although the priority right now is Widows, his upcoming movie starring Viola Davis, Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Rodriguez, Elizabeth Debicki, and André Holland
Yesss, I always thought Coes of Conduct sounded super interesting. I would love if they would revive it.
