HBO Max has ordered a new drama series helmed by J.J. Abrams and LaToya Morgan and starring Rachel Hilson and Josh Holloway.
The eight-episode period drama, Duster, takes place in the 1970s and follows the first Black female FBI agent as she heads to the Southwest and recruits a getaway driver in a bold effort to take down a growing crime syndicate, according to the streaming service.
“We are delighted to bring this high-voltage crime caper from the brilliant minds of J.J. Abrams and LaToya Morgan to the HBO Max audience,” HBO Max Head of Original Content Sarah Aubrey said in a statement. “This show has all the elements of a great Max Original, with propulsive storytelling, fantastic characters, and some truly bad-ass car chases.”
