URGENT UPDATE: Kurt Sutter, the acclaimed creator of Sons of Anarchy, has just announced a new original noir crime drama for the streaming service MGM+. This highly anticipated series will transport viewers to the gritty underbelly of 1950s Los Angeles, as reported by Deadline.
The hour-long series will follow a private investigator navigating crime and corruption amidst the glamorous façade of Hollywood. Sutter, who is known for his compelling storytelling, will write, executive produce through his SutterInk banner, and serve as showrunner. This marks his first venture into the noir genre, a significant shift from his previous work, and a return to his roots after gaining fame as a staff writer on the groundbreaking FX series The Shield.
Sutter’s upcoming drama is expected to join a lineup of gritty originals at MGM+, including the 1980s crime drama The Westies and the thriller anthology American Hostage. The project is still in development, and fans eagerly await further details from Sutter or MGM.
This announcement comes hot on the heels of Sutter’s recent success with The Abandons, a period Western that premiered on December 4. Despite Sutter exiting the project shortly before production wrapped, the series gained immense popularity in its opening weekend, exploring themes of family and conflict in 1854 Oregon.
In addition to the noir drama, Sutter is also working on a new series titled Nomad, starring Jason Momoa. This Apple TV+ project is set in the violent underworld of New Zealand’s outlaw bikers and showcases Sutter’s continued push into diverse storytelling.
As anticipation builds for this noir crime drama, fans of Sutter’s work are urged to stay tuned for more updates. With his unique ability to weave complex narratives, this series promises to be another captivating addition to Sutter’s impressive portfolio. Keep an eye on MGM+ for developments on this exciting new project.
