BREAKING: Kurt Sutter, the acclaimed creator of Sons of Anarchy, has just announced the development of a gripping new crime drama series set in 1950s Los Angeles for MGM+. This urgent update comes on the heels of Sutter’s recent success with his Netflix Western, The Abandons, which premiered on December 4.
The untitled series will take viewers deep into the dark underbelly of Los Angeles, where a private investigator battles crime and corruption amidst the glamour of Hollywood. Sutter will write and executive-produce the series through his SutterInk banner, stepping into the noir genre for the first time.
Sutter’s dramatic return to crime storytelling is notable, as he originally gained fame as a writer on the groundbreaking FX series The Shield, later ascending to executive producer. His acclaimed work on Sons of Anarchy and its spinoff, Mayans M.C., solidified his reputation in the industry.
This new project at MGM+ aims to join a robust lineup of gritty originals, including The Westies, a crime drama set in the 1980s, and American Hostage, a thriller anthology. The anticipation around Sutter’s noir series reflects a growing interest in period dramas that explore moral complexity and societal issues.
Additionally, Sutter is not slowing down. Just last month, it was revealed that Jason Momoa will star in Sutter’s upcoming series Nomad for Apple TV+. Set against the backdrop of New Zealand’s outlaw biker culture, this project further demonstrates Sutter’s expansive storytelling capabilities.
The surge in Sutter’s projects, including the successful launch of The Abandons, which captivated audiences immediately, highlights his continued relevance in modern television. Fans are eagerly awaiting more details on this new series, which promises to deliver the same intensity and depth that Sutter is known for.
As of now, official confirmation on the series title and release date is pending, but the buzz surrounding Sutter’s return to crime drama is palpable. Stay tuned for updates as this story develops, and prepare for a thrilling journey into the heart of 1950s crime and corruption in Los Angeles.
