FX is developing That Texas Blood, a series hailing from Jim Mickle and E.L. Katz, adapted from the acclaimed Image Comics series by Chris Condon and Jacob Phillips, according to a report on Deadline.

Billed as Cormac McCarthy meets John Carpenter, 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.

Mickle has directed a handful of genre films including Stake Land and We Are What We Are. Recently he directed Sweet Tooth for Netflix and is currently working on a Gundam movie.

Katz has directed Channel Zero: The Dream Door, Swamp Thing (2019), The Haunting of Bly Manor, and Teacup.
