Earlier this month, Kurt Sutter‘s latest Western series “The Abandons” debuted on Netflix (he exited the show just before it wrapped), and the creator of “Sons of Anarchy” is looking to dabble in another cool-guy genre for television as he’s developing an untitled private detective noir series at MGM+, which will take place during the 1950s in Los Angeles and the larger world of Hollywood.
The report from Deadline reveals that Sutter will wear many hats on the hour-long show as he’ll write, showrun, and executive produce via his banner ShutterInk. Sadly, we’re in the dark about potential casting, but that information will come in the future.

It is said that the new noir show “centers on a private investigator dealing with crime and dirty cops in the shadow of glamorous Hollywood” and is expected to harken back to Sutter’s days as a staff writer on the acclaimed Michael Chiklis-led L.A. corrupt cop series “The Shield” (where many folks were first made aware of Walton Goggins).
This new show is concurrently being put in development at the same time that Sutter is also working on a new outlaw biker gang series at Apple TV with Chris Collins and Jason Momoa (who is attached to star) that will be set in New Zealand called “Nomad.”
Given the era in which this new PI series is set, we wouldn’t be all that shocked if Kurt Sutter were sourcing various noir films from the 1950s for inspiration, including great examples such as the 1955 pic “Kiss Me Deadly,” “In A Lonely Place,” and Fritz Lang‘s seminal 1953 noir film “The Big Heat.”
