Netflix has placed a straight‑to‑series order for a fresh adaptation of Larry McMurtry’s Pulitzer‑winning western novel “Lonesome Dove.” The project will be written and run by Zoe Kazan and Jeb Stuart, who also co‑showrun Netflix’s upcoming limited series “East of Eden.” Rights to the franchise are held by independent studio Teton Ridge Entertainment, which secured them earlier this year.
