‘Narcos’ Creator Chris Brancato Sets Irish Crime Series ‘The Westies’ at MGM+
'Narcos' creator Chris Brancato has set an Irish crime drama, 'The Westies,' at MGM+.
The series takes place during the construction of the Jacob Javitz Convention Center on the Westies’ home turf in Hell’s Kitchen, which promises a financial windfall. “Despite being outnumbered fifty-to-one by the Five Families of the Italian Mafia, the Westies’ legendary brutality and cunning have given them the leverage necessary to share the spoils through a fragile détente,” reads the logline. “But internal conflict between the brash younger generation and the old-school leadership threatens to set a match to this powder keg, which will sweep the Westies into the FBI’s ever-deepening investigation into the Italian mafia.”
