Hulu’s drama pilot Southern Bastards has found its leading man.
Kevin Bacon will star in the project, based on a graphic novel of the same name by Jason Aaron and Jason LaTour. The pilot comes from Disney’s Onyx Collective, POV Entertainment and Ryan Coogler’s Proximity Media in association with Fifth Season.
Along with Bacon, director Reinaldo Marcus Green (King Richard, We Own This City) has joined the pilot as director.
Southern Bastards will follow “a tenacious military vet into Craw County, Alabama, in search of her estranged father,” the logline reads. “What she finds is a murderous hornet’s nest of organized crime run by the winningest high school football coach in the South.” Bill Dubuque (Ozark) and Nia DaCosta (Hedda, Candyman) share story credit on the pilot, with Dubuque writing the teleplay. Matt Olmstead (NBC’s Chicago franchise) will serve as showrunner.
