The announcement comes after Duffy pitched his franchise as a prequel TV series two years ago.
The Boondocks Saints centers around two brothers will become vigilantes after killing a Russian mobster in self-defense. While it wasn’t a hit at the box office, it will later become a cult classic. A sequel was later released in 2009.
“A television series is the perfect medium for story telling inside the world of our beloved blue-collar super heroes. The brothers have always been defenders of the people, justice, fairness and the city of Boston”, said Duffy in a press release. “In this sensitive time of human rights unrest, government scandal and civil corruption, there couldn’t be a better moment to re-launch the brothers iconic brand of justice in the Cradle of Democracy”.
