MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, THE (Amazon, New!) - Nic Pizzolatto is spearheading a new TV take on the franchise at Amazon Studios: "The Magnificent Seven series reboot is described as being in the tradition of the great epics from the golden age of Westerns. An outlaw and his cohorts must unite a disparate band of indelible fighters to defend a settlement of immigrant homesteaders in an open range war against cattle barons in central Texas, telling an expansive saga of adventure, action and romance." The project morphed out of an original concept Pizzolatto sold to the streamer last month with a series commitment. Mark Johnson remains an executive producer along with Lawrence Mirisch and Bruce Kaufman. Pizzolatto co-wrote the 2016 film of the same name. (Deadline.com)

Upon entering each other's lives, they begin to crack open each other's façade to reveal what really lies beneath." Meredith Lavender, Marcie Ulin and Kristen SaBerre will write and executive produce alongside Union, Barry Jossen, Tana Jamieson for Amazon Studios, A+E Studios, I'll Have Another Productions and Range Media Partners.
