Matthew McConaughey is reuniting with True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto for a new crime drama at FX.
McConaughey is attached to lead the cast of Redeemer, which has scored a script-to-series commitment at the cabler, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Based on Patrick Colman’s 2019 novel The Churchgoer, Redeemer centers on a “minister-turned-dissolute security guard whose search for a missing woman in Texas leads him through a corruption-steeped criminal conspiracy, as his past and present impact and entwine around a mystery of escalating violence and deceit,” according to the logline.
The project marks Pizzolatto’s first project as part of his new overall deal with Fox 21 TV Studios and FX Productions.
"We are thrilled to begin our creative partnership with Nic Pizzolatto and Matthew McConaughey on Redeemer, who are back together for the first time since the first season of HBO’s True Detective,” said FX Entertainment president Eric Schrier.

The True Detective season 1 alums are working on a new case for FX.
FX must have asked the right questions when the cable network took a meeting with True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto and season 1 star Matthew McConaughey. The showrunner and leading man are set to team up once more for a new drama on FX titled Redeemer, created by Pizzolatto and inspired by Patrick Colman's novel The Churchgoer.
As part of the pact, Pizzolatto is moving his overall deal from HBO to FX, where he’ll create and produce new projects for the network. The development will likely end Pizzolatto’s roller coaster three-season tenure as showrunner and writer of True Detective, however the door is still open for HBO to continue the series under new creative leadership.
In a sense, Redeemer will return McConaughey and Pizzolatto, who will both executive produce the series, to familiar haunts.
