HBO Max, J.J. Abrams, and LaToya Morgan plan to introduce audiences to Duster, a period drama set in the Southwest starring Josh Holloway (LostYellowstone) and Rachel Hilson (This is UsThe Americans). Duster is a concept Abrams and Morgan have been kicking around since April 2020, when it nearly got the green light from then HBO Max Chief Content Officer Kevin Reilly. The project remained in limbo since then, with HBO Max labeling it “in development.” The time has come for HBO Max to give Duster a series order after shooting a pilot episode.

Duster stars Rachel Hilson as Nina, the first Black FBI agent, who, in 1972, travels to the Southwest and gains a getaway driver, played by Josh Holloway. Together, the duo aims to take down a crime syndicate taking root in the area. Keith David, Sydney Elisabeth, Greg Grunberg, Camille Guaty, Asivak Koostachin, Adriana Aluna Martinez, and Benjamin Charles Watson also star.

Morgan represents TinkerToy Productions in the setup.

“LaToya and I are thrilled at the chance to bring the wild, wily and wacky world of Duster to life, especially with this exceptional cast, crew and network,” Abrams said while gushing about the project.

Duster is an amalgam of all my favorite things – high octane storytelling with deep characters and so much heart. It’s a dream project and I’m supremely grateful to all the folks at Warner Bros. and HBO Max for believing in this show. And I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in crime than J.J. to build this incredible world,” Morgan added.

According to Sarah Aubrey, Head of Original Content, HBO Max, Duster is sure to thrill HBO Max subscribers with “propulsive storytelling, Fantastic characters, and some truly bad-ass car chases.”
