Graham Yost and the creators of the original award-winning series, Elmore Leonard and Fred Golan, will also return.
Following the original series, it will be based on Elmore Leonard’s book City Primeval: High Noon in Detroit.

After Givens’s work in Kentucky is completed, the United States Marshal resides in Miami before moving to Detroit and becoming involved with the case of the Oklahoma Wildman.

Speaking of dangerous men, FX announced the addition of eight new actors to the cast of Justified: City Primeval. Boyd Holbrook, Vondie Curtis Hall, Norbert Leo Butz, and Victor Williams have been added to the main cast as new characters alongside Aunjanue Ellis, Adelaide Clemens, Marin Ireland, and Vivian Olyphant.

Production Description: 

The show tells the true story of the Black Mafia Family, one of America’s most notorious and powerful organized crime syndicates.

Headed by brothers Demetrius and Terry Flenory, BMF operated out of Detroit in the early 2000s. At the height of their power, they generated millions of dollars a month from drug trafficking, money laundering, and other criminal activities. But as the brothers’ empire continued to grow, so did the feds’ investigation into their operations.

In 2005, Demetrius and Terry were indicted on federal racketeering and conspiracy charges, and they were both sentenced to 30 years in prison. “BMF” chronicles their rise to power and eventual fall, and it features interviews with members of the Black Mafia Family and law enforcement officials who worked on the case.

The series is directed by Mario Van Peebles and executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.
