Thanks to Emily for the heads up.
FX is getting into the crime business.
The basic cable network is teaming with the creators of The Walking Dead and Fargo to develop crime drama The Mastermind.
Based on the series of founder Evan Ratliff's investigative stories from longform nonfiction publishing platform Atavist Magazine, The Mastermind revolves around Paul Le Roux, a former programmer and criminal cartel boss-turned-Drug Enforcement Administration informant.
Brothers Joe and Anthony Russo (Captain America: Winter Soldier) will exec produce and direct the drama, which is currently in development. Fargo and Legion showrunner Noah Hawley and his FX Productions-based 26 Keys banner will also exec produce. The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman's Skybound Entertainment will also exec produce with the Dave Alpert also on board.
