HuffingtonPost reports:

The series will follow Cheney, whose career in politics included roles in the Ford, Nixon and both Bush administrations, and will portray Cheney’s “single-minded pursuit of enhanced power for the presidency [that] was unprecedented in the nation’s history,” a producer told THR.

This is the second HBO project about a prominent Republican party figure announced in recent weeks.
