Erin Kellyman and Tim McGraw are set for lead roles in the “Southern Bastards” pilot currently in the works at Hulu.

Kellyman and McGraw join previously announced star Kevin Bacon in the pilot, which is based on the graphic novels of the same name. It was picked up to pilot at Hulu in October 2025.

The official logline states that the show “follows a tenacious military vet (Kellyman) into Craw County, Alabama, in search of her estranged father (Bacon). What she finds is a murderous hornet’s nest of organized crime run by the winningest high school football coach in the South (McGraw).”
