A Boondock Saints TV Prequel?

Even though he has not managed to get a third movie off the ground in recent years, filmmaker Troy Duffy is taking another path with plans to write and direct a ‘Boondock’ TV prequel series for IM Global Television.

Duffy has written the pilot episode and will also direct it, and has already compiled a series bible which chronicles the MacManus boys’ origins as Irish immigrants in South Boston.

Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flanery, who played the MacManus twins in the films, will not star but may serve as co-executive producers. Duffy, Don Carmody, Lloyd Segan, and D. Matt Geller will executive produce and a show runner is being sought.

The Boondock Saints TV series does not yet have a network or streaming service, but producers are said to be aiming for a straight-to-series order.
