Jon Bernthal to develop, star in Amazon drama

Actor Jon Bernthal, best known for The Walking Dead and Ford vs Ferrari, is set to create and feature in The Bottoms, a drama he has worked under the radar for the past decade.
Bernthal will also co-write the series, set up at Amazon Studios, along with Ben Watkins of “Burn Notice” fame.
According to a website, “The Bottoms” will follow the interconnected systems of family structures, friends and neighbours, law enforcement, and criminality all intersecting in Shreveport, Louisiana, in the early 1990s.
Set in a particularly wild corner of the Deep South, the show will examine the inflection points, the blurred lines and the human cost on all sides. (PTI)
