“True Detective” creator Nic Pizzolatto is negotiating an exit package that would end his first-look deal with Disney-owned brands FX and Fox 21/Touchstone Television early.
Pizzolatto has two years remaining on the deal that he signed last year with the big project of that deal, the Matthew McConaughey-led series “Redeemer,” no longer moving forward.
McConaughey has dropped out of the drama that was to be based on Patrick Coleman’s novel “The Churchgoer” and which had a sizable script-to-series commitment at FX.
With him gone, the network opted to scratch both it and Pizzolatto’s deal – helped along by Touchstone Television which has seen big changes over much of the past year.
