Robert Munic and Teton Ridge Entertainment are adapting French-Canadian series Le Clan for Peacock, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Retitled Stoic Ridge, the modern Western about “loyalty, betrayal, and the fight to outrun the past,” will be made in English.
“After years in witness protection, reformed criminal Jacob Morris has built a quiet life as a rancher, husband and father in small-town New Mexico,” the logline reads. “When his crime boss father and brother are released from prison, however, his two worlds collide, forcing him to protect his new family from the one he betrayed.”
Munic will showrun; other executive producers include Jillian Share, Jen Gorton, Guy Stodeland Joanne Forgues. Stoic Ridge is in development through UCP (Universal Content Productions), which is a division of Universal Studio Group, and Teton Ridge Entertainment, a TWG Global-owned studio.
Le Clan, created by Joanne Arseneau and produced by Productions Casablanca, Phare-Est Media and Avenue Productions, was a standout in several below-the-line categories. It received Gemeaux Award nominations for cinematography, sound and set design.
