One of the busiest people in Hollywood just got a little bit busier with a Queen Sugar reunion of sorts. Ava DuVernay and her Array Filmworks have re-teamed with Kat Candler to develop a one-hour drama series for TNT centered on the Texas oil industry.
The latest project out of the sprawling nine-figure overall deal DuVernay inked with Warner Bros Television Group almost a year ago (as Deadline exclusively reported), the untitled series focuses on the fatal aftermath of a Lone Star state refinery accident and one woman’s move to seek justice through an unprecedented labor action.
If you are thinking Norma Rae 2020 for the Warner Horizon Scripted Television project, I’d say you nailed it. DuVernay will executive produce the yet to be named drama with Candler who will write the series.
