The cable network is developing Conquistadors, an adaptation of the Kim MacQuarrie book Last Day of the Incas. Written by producer Nicholas Osborne in his writing debut, Conquistadors tells the story of Francisco Pizarro and Diego de Almagro, two Spanish Conquistadors who above all odds conquered the Incan empire of 10 million with just 168 men, and Manco Inca and Cura Occlo, two teenage Incan royal lovers, who led one of the greatest rebellions in history. Osborne is executive producing with Scott Rosenbaum, who serves as showrunner, and Underground Films’ Trevor Engelson.

FX is on fire with all the shows it has in development, if they are as good as their current dramas I think it will overtake HBO as the best channel.
ReplyDeleteIt already has in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds awesome! I'm thinking a miniseries might be best suited for this. Though the Americans is proving me wrong.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds incredible and epic.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope it gets the greenlight.
Schweet! If only FX could afford shows with budgets like Game of Thrones... with American Horror Story, The Americans and Justified they're already my favorite cable network (followed by Syfy). I just hope they start picking up more shows, I'd like them to launch 3-4 dramas per year at least.
ReplyDeleteSounds intriguing...
