Sterlin Harjo Drama Pilot Starring Ethan Hawke Picked Up At FX

FX has picked up Sterlin Harjo‘s drama pilot The Sensitive Kind starring Ethan Hawke, Deadline has confirmed.

We broke the news in February that the project had been given a pilot order which reunites Harjo, co-creator, executive producer and showrunner of the network’s acclaimed series Reservation Dogs, with Hawk, who appeared in the Emmy-nominated series’ penultimate episode.

Created by Harjo, The Sensitive Kind is a Tulsa noir about a guy (Hawke) who knows too much.

The cast also includes Keith David (American Fiction), Siena East (Sex Lives of College Girls), Jeanne Tripplehorn (Big Love), Tim Blake Nelson (O Brother, Where Art Thou?), Scott Shepherd (Killers of the Flower Moon), Tracy Letts (Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty), Kyle Maclachlan (Twin Peaks) and Macon Blair (Oppenheimer).

Harjo also serves as writer and director on the pilot, which he and Hawke executive produce with Garrett Basch. The project falls under Harjo’s overall deal with FX Productions, which is the project’s studio.

The order for The Sensitive Kind comes on the heels of Reservation Dogs ending its award-winning three-season run on FX as the network’s topper John Landgraf told Deadline this week that he and his team are focused on finding worthy successors to Reservation Dogs and the handful of other successful series that wrapped in the past year.

Variety was first to confirm the drama’s official pickup.
