Streaming service "HBO Max" has handed out a script order for a new TV series based on author James Fenimore Cooper's "The Last Of The Mohicans", with WarnerMedia looking to attract the same audience as STARZ historical romance series "Outlander":
"...the new take is a retelling of the novel's early French and Indian Wars, that focuses on an 'unlikely' romance between 'Uncas', a young 'Mohican'...
"...and Cora, the mixed-race daughter of a British colonel..."
Pilot for the series is written by Emmy winner Cary Joji Fukunaga ("True Detective") and Nick Osborne ("All About Steve") with Nicole Kassell ("Watchmen") attached to direct.
