Sterlin Harjo is bringing four-time Oscar nominee Ethan Hawke back to Oklahoma for a high-profile new project.
Deadline reports that FX has given a pilot order to “The Sensitive Kind,” a drama that will star and be executive produced by Hawke and created and executive produced by Harjo.
Harjo previously brought Hawke to his home state to work on “Reservation Dogs,” the trailblazing made-in-Oklahoma FX series on which Harjo worked as co-creator, executive producer and showrunner.
During the celebrated coming-of-age series’ third and final season, Hawke made an impression in his guest-starring turn as Rick Miller, the father whom prospective college student Elora Danan (Devery Jacobs) meets for the first time. One of the main characters of “Reservation Dogs,” Elora Danan has grown up without her father, but tracks him down so that she can apply for financial aid.
Titled “Elora’s Dad,” the penultimate of “Reservation Dogs” was written by Jacobs and directed by Harjo.
