Gun control is getting the prime-time treatment, this time as a drama series.
Sundance Channel is developing a scripted project set against the backdrop of the National Rifle Association, deadline.com reports.
Titled “Cold Dead Hands” (based on the NRA slogan), the family drama centers on the fictional and polarizing head of the NRA, Trip Thibodeaux, who is forced to navigate a volatile landscape in American culture and politics.
The series will be produced by Tony Krantz’s Flame Ventures (“Dracula”) and written by Los Angeles Times journalist Scott Gold (“Under the Dome”).
“Cold Dead Hands” would be the latest scripted effort for Sundance, which recently aired the acquired series “The Returned” and has new drama “The Red Road” premiering in February and a second season of “Rectify” for spring 2014.
