The Shield Creator Shawn Ryan Brings New Drama Series Badlands to HBO

Shawn Ryan doesn’t appear to believe in rest.

The Shield creator is busy wrapping production on Last Resort (which, sadly, did not receive a back order from ABC) and developing a Beverly Hills Cop pilot with Eddie Murphy for CBS.

Deadline now reports that Ryan is also developing Badlands, a mining town drama, for HBO. Ron Fitzgerald, Last Resort co-executive producer, is penning the script based on a story he created with Rolin Jones. The series follows a struggling community in modern day Tar River, Wyoming, a mining town that has been hit especially hard by the current economic downturn.

As of August the prolific writer/producer was also working on a way to develop a movie to wrap-up the FX series Terriers (a show which IGN championed).
