Michael Bay and Joe Barton are teaming up for a currently untitled drama series that follows a bounty hunter.
A new bounty hunter drama from A+E Studios is in the works at Amazon. The action drama series will be overseen by Joe Barton and Michael Bay, with a title yet to be announced. According to a recent report by Deadline, the new project will center on an American bounty hunter working south of the border between the United States of America and Mexico.
The untitled project will see the bounty hunter land himself in trouble with the Mexican cartel during his work chasing down a criminal. Barton will serve as both writer, creator, and executive producer on the film. He will work alongside Bay, who will serve as the project’s director, and Brad Fuller from Platinum Dunes, Range Media Partners, and Wise Entertainment. A+E Studios will oversee the series in partnership with Amazon Studios.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The series is said to be inspired by Bay’s experience in Costa Rica. “I was inspired about five years ago hanging out down in Costa Rica with a former US Federal Agent, who surfs every day living the good life,” Bay explained about what gave him the idea for the series and main character. “He supports his fun, relaxed lifestyle in Costa Rica by tracking down ‘Bad Gringos’ hiding out down in South America.
The new Amazon project isn’t the only series in the bounty hunter genre currently in the works. Another project is set in the world of “gringo hunters”, where Netflix will soon have a new thriller drama from Imagine Television. The series will be based on a story featured in The Washington Post entitled “A U.S murder suspect fled to Mexico. The Gringo Hunters were waiting,” which was written by Kevin Sieff.
A premiere date for the upcoming series is yet to be announced. In the meantime, check out our interview with Michael Bay down below:
