According to Variety, Reservation Dogs co-creator Sterlin Harjo is currently developing his next project for FX in the form of an untitled heist series which will be led by a Native American woman. The project comes three months since the network ordered a second season of Harjo and Taika Waititi’s hit coming-of-age comedy, which recently won a Gotham Award for Breakthrough Series.

It will be executive produced by Harjo and Dive’s Garrett Basch. Harjo has primarily directed films that focus on Native Americans and are set in his home state of Oklahoma. His directorial feature credits are Mekko and Barking Water.
