Alberta: One year after the sleeper hit movie, a TV series based on Hank Williams First Nation has been greenlit by APTN, reuniting at least one cast member with creator Aaron James Sorensen of Alberta’s Peace Country Films. Sorensen, who wrote and directed the movie, and steered it through a successful self-distributed run in 2005, will write the 6 x 30 drama with Jordan Wheeler and story editor Larry Mollin (Beverly Hills 90210).

Hank Williams First Nation – the Series is set to shoot this summer in northern Alberta, produced by Peace Country in partnership with the Woodland Cree First Nation, again starring Gordon Tootoosis.

The Hank Williams movie came out on DVD in May via Maple Pictures.
