Sopranos creator developing CIA Cold War thriller Project: MKUltra

October 23, 2025 by Ricky Church

David Chase, the creator of HBO’s classic and beloved series The Sopranos, is returning to HBO for an espionage thriller limited series. Titled Project: MKUltra, the series will be based on the CIA’s involvement in the use of LSD during the Cold War.

The series will follow “real-life chemist and spymaster Sidney Gottlieb, also known as the Black Sorcerer, who is credited as the unwitting godfather of the LSD counterculture. Gottlieb headed the CIA’s MKUltra Psychedelic program, which conducted dangerous and deadly mind-control experiments on willing and unwilling subjects during the height of the Cold War.”

Project: MKUltra is based on the book Project Mind Control: Sidney Gottlieb, the CIA, and the Tragedy of MKULTRA by John Lisle. Chase will produce the series with Riverain Pictures’ Nicole Lambert.

Chase is best known for The Sopranos which ran for seven seasons between 1999 – 2007 and starred the late James Gandolfini as New Jersey mob boss Tony Soprano. Chase returned to the world of Sopranos with the prequel film The Many Saints of Newark which featured Gandolfini’s son Michael as the young Tony.

In addition to Project: MKUltra, Chase is also set to re-team with his Sopranos producing partner Terence Winter for an untitled horror film that Chase will write and direct.
