TORONTO -- The CBC has given a series pickup to a dark 1860s Western, Strange Empire, from Durham County screenwriter Laurie Finstad.
The serialized drama portrays a ruthless individual who butchers most of the men in a Canadian frontier town and then pushes frightened women into replacing prostitutes he lost in a recent cholera epidemic.
Finstad, Timothy Johnson and Jeff Sagansky are executive producing Strange Empire from indie producer Johnson Production Group, in association with Annuit Coeptis Entertainment.
