It will piece together the stories of survivors, bereaved family members and firefighters, using interviews and evidence from the public inquiry.
Writer and director Peter Kosminsky said he hoped the show would "reach the heart of this catastrophe". He said he wanted the series to examine "how such a thing can have happened; [and] how we can avoid it ever happening again".
The BBC said the series would provide "a comprehensive account of the events leading up to, during, and after the devastating fire".
Kosminsky has won seven Bafta Awards including for dramas made in response to such real-life events as the Bosnian war, the 11 September 2001 attacks, and the 2003 death of Dr David Kelly.
He is also known for directing the TV adaptation of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall.
