The Disney-owned outlet has placed a series order for a drama starring Ethan Hawke (who guest-starred on the final season of Reservation Dogs ). The untitled series, formerly known as The Sensitive Kind , is set in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and is said to have a film noir vibe centering on Hawke’s character, a “guy who knows too much.” Other details are being kept quiet for now.

FX declined to comment.

The pickup comes on the heels of Reservation Dogs ‘ final season scoring a best comedy series nomination at September’s Emmy Awards, one of four nods for the show this year. FX ordered a pilot for the new show in February; along with Hawke, the cast includes Keith David, Siena East, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Tim Blake Nelson, Scott Shepherd, Tracy Letts, Kyle MacLachlan, Macon Blair, Killer Mike, Kaniehtiio Horne (who had a memorable recurring role as Deer Lady in Rez Dogs ), Cody Lightning, Michael Hitchcock and Ryan Kiera Armstrong.

FX Productions, where Harjo has an overall deal , is producing the series. Harjo wrote and directed the pilot and will executive produce with Hawke and Garrett Basch.
