FX Developing Image Comics’ That Texas Blood With Jim Mickle and E.L. Katz

With 20th Television and Anomaly Pictures attached, the comic-to-TV adaptation has premium studio support while it remains in early development.

Overview

  • FX announced Friday that it is developing That Texas Blood as a drama series based on the Image Comics property by Chris Condon and Jacob Phillips.
  • Jim Mickle and E.L. Katz will write and executive produce the adaptation, with Mickle set to direct for 20th Television.
  • Michael Waldron and Adam Fasullo are executive producers through Anomaly Pictures, and Jacob Phillips will serve as co-executive producer alongside other producers and the author.
  • The series is described as a neo-noir Western centered on Sheriff Joe Bob Coates in Ambrose County, Texas, and is billed stylistically as 'Cormac McCarthy meets John Carpenter.'
  • The project is in early development with no series order, casting, or production schedule announced, and timelines could be affected by Mickle’s concurrent work on a live-action Gundam film.
