PanARMENIAN.Net - Sylvester Stallone is going to make his TV debut. "The Expendables" actor is heading to the small screen with a mafia drama series called "Omerta". The "Creed" star is expected to play the major role of mafia boss, AceShowbiz reports.

The show is adapted from Mario Puzo's book of the same name. It's the final novel in the author's mafia trilogy that started with "The Godfather" and "The Last Don". Sly is set to work with "The Equalizer" director Antoine Fuqua for the project.
