Hulu has picked up the pilot for a new scripted drama series from Onyx Collective, titled "Southern Bastards", with Nia DaCosta, Bill Dubuque, and Matt Olmstead attached as executive producers.
Olmstead will serve as showrunner for the pilot and executive produces alongside DaCosta and Dubuque, who share story credits, while DaCosta is attached to direct.
The pilot is produced by Onyx Collective, POV Entertainment, and Proximity Media, in association with Fifth Season.
The story centers on a tenacious military vet who heads into Craw County, Alabama, in search of her estranged father, as she finds "a murderous hornet’s nest of organized crime run by the winningest high school football coach in the South".
The series is based on the graphic novel series of the same name.
Author's note: New series from Onyx Collective coming soon.
