No word on how soon The Cartel will debut, but one imagines this is now a top priority for the network. The Cartel covers somewhat familiar territory for FX-they did have The Bridge a few years back-but Winslow’s source material feels especially relevant in the era of the Trump Administration. In addition to The Cartel, FX also has the long-awaited Y: The Last Man TV series coming later this year, as well as Annihilation filmmaker Alex Garland’s sci-fi series Devs. And with Netflix, Disney+, and Apple on the horizon, FX is taking seriously the challenge to combat them in the content realm. From critically acclaimed shows like The Americans and American Crime Story to high-concept sci-fi like Legion, FX is home to some of the most striking stories being told on TV. The Border named after the third book in Winslow’s cartel trilogy will.

This is a pretty great acquisition for FX, which has a knack for producing high-quality content that also pushes the boundaries of what you can do on television. The Disney-owned cable outlet has ordered a drama pilot based on a trio of novels by best-selling author Don Winslow. Shocking in its brutality, raw in its humanity – it portrays Mexican cartel power struggles, the narcos and cops on both sides of the border, the traffickers and drug mules, lawyers, journalists, junkies, teenage hitmen, children seeking asylum, and political corruption from poppy fields in Mexico to the White House. The trilogy, massive in scope and ambition, follows a DEA agent, Art Keller, on a harrowing 45-year journey through America’s longest-running war: the War on Drugs.
