Shawn Ryan has a new Fox pilot about the lawless frontier of Hawaii
Shawn Ryan isn’t ready to part ways with island paradise just yet. The Shield showrunner has partnered with Shameless writer Davey Holmes on a pilot for Fox that also has Fast & Furious and Better Luck Tomorrow director Justin Lin attached. Set in Hawaii—where Ryan’s previous series Last Resort was also filmed—the series is set in 1957, two years before the territory officially became the 50th state. It follows a “small-time Hawaiian hustler” who seeks vengeance on “the most powerful man on the island” for his brother’s murder.
