AMC has added “Rectify” to its series development slate.
The hourlong legal drama stars Walton Goggins, who also will be a co-executive producer.
The show was created and written by Ray McKinnon, who will executive produce the series alongside Mr. Goggins, Stephen Kay and “Breaking Bad” executive producer Mark Johnson.
“‘Rectify’ takes us to the crossroads of two incredibly compelling worlds. Ray McKinnon’s script beautifully weaves together the legal drama surrounding a wrongful conviction into a great character-driven family drama, and in that sense it is totally unique,” Christina Wayne, AMC’s senior VP of scripted series and miniseries, said in a statement. “We are so happy to be expanding our business with Mark Johnson. AMC has a great working relationship with him on ‘Breaking Bad,’ and we are thrilled to be working with him again.”
