“Redeemer”: Matthew McConaughey and “True Detective” Creator Reteaming for New FX Series
Anyone who’s seen the brilliant first season of HBO’s “True Detective” is likely excited by the mere thought of creator Nic Pizzolatto re-teaming with season star Matthew McConaughey, which is precisely the exciting scoop that Deadline brings to us this afternoon.
Deadline reports that “Redeemer” has “landed a script-to-series commitment at FX.”
“Created by Pizzolatto and inspired by Patrick Coleman’s debut novel The Churchgoer, “Redeemer” stars McConaughey as 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.”
Sounds at least cut from the same cloth as the first season of “True Detective,” doesn’t it? As for “True Detective,” it’s possible that HBO will be moving on without Pizzolatto.
That said, “True Detective” has not yet been renewed for a fourth season by HBO.
The series comes from Fox 21 TV Studios and FX Productions, and both Pizzolatto (who has just signed an overall production deal with Fox 21 Television Studios and FX Productions, Deadline also reports) and McConaughey are on board to executive produce.
The Ghostbusters franchise returns to the world of animation with brand new Netflix series “Ghostbusters: Night Shift,” and the official logo has been revealed this weekend.
Expect “Ghostbusters: Night Shift” to clock in on Netflix in 2027!
Netflix previews, “Ghostbusters: Night Shift, a series from Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation based on the beloved Ghostbusters franchise, will debut exclusively on Netflix in 2027.
“The new series marks the next chapter in the franchise’s ghoul-catching legacy, bringing supernatural comedy and paranormal action back to animation.”
The upcoming animated series from Netflix will be executive produced by Ben Hibon, Elliott Kalan, Jason Reitman, Gil Kenan, Amie Karp, and Dan Aykroyd.
Reitman, son of Ivan Reitman, director of the original Ghostbusters features, and Kenan co-wrote the franchise’s most recent installments, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Frozen Empire.
“This isn’t the first time the Ghostbusters universe has gone animated,” Netflix reminds in their press release today. “The 1980s and ’90s saw The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters take over the small screen. For now, you can rest assured: If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, a Ghostbuster will be on the job — even if it’s after hours.”
