Ava DuVernay and Kat Candler Developing One Hour Drama at TNT Based on the Texas Oil Industry

Ava DuVernay, creator and director of Queen Sugar, is teaming up with one of her co-directors and producer of the series, Kat Candler, to develop an hour-long drama for TNT based on the Texas oil industry, namely the “fatal aftermath of a Lone Star state refinery accident and one woman’s move to seek justice through an unprecedented labor action.”

Candler will write the series, as well as executive produce alongside DuVernay. This sounds like a powerful series that will tell a fascinating story. I have heard fantastic things about the duo’s current series, Queen Sugar, which has won many awards and definitely got its fair share of buzz among critics.

I’ll definitely be checking out the series. How about you?
