Netflix has ordered a series retelling of Larry McMurtry’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Western novel Lonesome Dove. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The project will reteam the streaming service with East of Eden co-showrunners Zoe Kazan and Jeb Stuart. Teton Ridge Entertainment owns the film and TV rights to McMurtry’s Lonesome Dove book series. <\/p>\n

McMurtry’s 1985 bestseller follows former Texas Rangers-turned-cowboys Augustus “Gus” McRae and Woodrow Call, who embark on a fateful 3000-mile cattle drive to Montana, encountering a variety of frontier dangers along the way. <\/p>\n

CBS adapted it as a blockbuster TV miniseries in 1989 starring Robert Duvall<\/u><\/a>, Tommy Lee Jones, Danny Glover, Rick Schroder, Diane Lane, Robert Urich, Anjelica Huston, Steve Buscemi, Chris Cooper, Frederic Forrest, and Glenne Headly.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter our singular experience on East of Eden, we are thrilled to be teaming with Netflix again, along with Teton Ridge Entertainment, to bring Larry McMurtry\u2019s western classic to life,\u201d Kazan and Stuart said in a statement (via Deadline<\/u><\/a>). <\/p>\n

\u201cWe come to this material with love and respect, and can\u2019t wait to hit the trail with Gus and Call and the rest of these beloved characters. Yee-haw.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Deadline, Kazan and Stuart will executive produce Lonesome Dove with Thomas Tull, Jillian Share and Jen Gorton of Teton Ridge Entertainment; Jon Jashni; late McMurtry\u2019s longtime creative partner Diana Ossana; Curtis McMurtry of the McMurtry Estate.<\/p>\n

when we’d be standing around on set of EAST OF EDEN, waiting for the next set-up, my friend\/co-showrunner (and screenwriter of THE FUGITIVE and DIE HARD) Jeb Stuart would talk my ear off about how I had to read Larry McMurtry. i finally listened to him–and now… https:\/\/t.co\/9XyaPDTx7m<\/a><\/p>\n
