Mickle is directing as well as co-writing the FX series with Katz.
Deadline notes that the neo-noir series is billed as “Cormac McCarthy meets John Carpenter.”
The outlet details, “That Texas Blood is a neo-noir Western following Sheriff Joe Bob Coates of Ambrose County, Texas, who questions his place in an increasingly violent world when a man returns home following the sudden disappearance of his brother, causing a spiral down into a past filled with treachery and blood.”
Chris Condon and Jacob Phillips are behind the comic book series from Image.
