Fox is saddling up to put a fresh spin on the classic Western: The network is developing a new one-hour police procedural, titled Deputy, that’s set in the “modern Wild West” of Los Angeles, TVLine has learned.
“But when the L.A. County Sheriff drops dead, Bill becomes acting sheriff of Los Angeles County, in charge of 10,000 sworn deputies policing a modern Wild West.”
Fox has made a script commitment to the “ensemble procedural,” with a significant penalty attached if it doesn’t move forward at the network.
