The series will follow the true exploits of Charles Becker, a cop in early 1900s New York, who went to war against the Italian, Jewish and Irish gangs in the NY neighborhood known simply as The Tenderloin.
Sylvester Stallone and the History Channel are teaming up for the period cop drama The Tenderloin, according to Deadline.
“Long before Miranda Rights or the fictional series The Shield, there was the very real Charles Becker, a police officer living by his own moral code,” History Executive Vice President Eli Lehrer told Deadline.
The Creed star will executive produce and direct several episodes, per the report, which are to be penned by Sons of Anarchy and The Shield writer Stephen Kay.
