BREAKING: Kurt Sutter, renowned creator of *Sons of Anarchy*, is diving into the noir genre with a new crime drama series set in **1950s Los Angeles** for MGM+. This exciting development was just confirmed earlier today, as the series promises to immerse viewers in a gritty world of crime and corruption lurking beneath Hollywood’s glamorous facade.
The untitled hourlong series will follow a private investigator navigating treacherous waters filled with criminal dealings and corrupt police officers, offering a stark contrast to the bright lights of Tinseltown. Sutter, who will write, executive-produce, and serve as showrunner through his SutterInk banner, is returning to his roots in the crime drama genre after his successful stint on FX’s groundbreaking series *The Shield*.
This project marks Sutter’s first official venture into noir, and it is noteworthy that he previously gained recognition as a staff writer on *The Shield*, eventually becoming its executive producer. With the new series, he aims to contribute to MGM+’s lineup of gritty originals, which also includes the upcoming **1980s crime drama *The Westies*** and the thriller anthology *American Hostage*.
In addition to this project, Sutter is not slowing down. Just last month, it was announced that **Jason Momoa**, famous for his role in *Game of Thrones*, will star in *Nomad*, which is co-written by Sutter and set in the violent underbelly of New Zealand’s outlaw biker scene. This series is expected to be featured on **Apple TV+**.
The announcement comes on the heels of Sutter’s recent success with *The Abandons*, a period Western that premiered on **December 4, 2023**, on Netflix, captivating audiences with its themes of family and conflict in **1854 Oregon**. Although Sutter departed from the project shortly before it wrapped, its popularity surged during its opening weekend, further solidifying his status as a powerhouse in the entertainment industry.
Fans are eagerly awaiting further details about Sutter’s noir series, with official confirmations expected from both Sutter and MGM+ soon. This dynamic development reflects Sutter’s continuous evolution as a storyteller, blending crime, intrigue, and emotional depth in his work.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new series and what it means for fans of crime dramas and Sutter’s previous works. As the project progresses, it is sure to generate buzz within the entertainment community and beyond.
