Henry Winkler’s keeping it in the family for his next show—both his literal family and his HBO family. The Barry star’s next project will be a miniseries over at HBO, titled King Rex. Winkler is set to star in the show, while his son, Max Winkler, has signed on to direct the pilot.
The miniseries is based on the 1980 Texas Monthly article, “Rex Cauble And The Cowboy Mafia,” written by Lawrence Wright. The series reportedly “explores a buried treasure of a True Crime mystery—how a North Texas kingdom got itself smashed to pieces by a judge’s gavel, the IRS, and the FBI.”
