Status: This is still in development for WGN America, as far as is known - it's been 14 months since it was announced and no further word as of yet. Pitch: Dashiell "Dash" Bad Horse ran away from an impoverished, hopeless life on the Prairie Rose Indian Reservation. Now he's back to find things worse than he left: the benefits of "the Rez's" new casino can't erase the scourge of drugs and organized crime. But no one knows if he's returned to right some wrongs or just to get his cut. Odds of Success Onscreen: Strong with a warning. Modern audiences are hungry for diversity and stories of corruption, and the Scalped comic helped make Jason Aaron a well-recognized writer in the business. Make sure to involve actual Native Americans at every step of the process and this could be big: fail to do that and the backlash could be severe.
