In a thrilling new twist, Tim McGraw is set to star as Coach Boss in the upcoming Hulu series Southern Bastards. The show is based on the graphic novel series by Jason Aaron and Jason Latour and tells the story of a high school football coach who gains power and influence in a small Alabama town. But there’s more to Coach Boss than meets the eye—he’s also at the helm of an organized crime ring.
Joining McGraw in this dramatic tale are Kevin Bacon and Erin Kellyman. As Roberta, Kellyman plays a former marine determined to confront the trauma that plagues Craw County, only to discover the dark underbelly of Coach Boss’s life. Bacon steps in as Earl, the sheriff’s son harboring a deep grudge against Boss, creating an explosive tension in the narrative.
Southern Bastards promises more than just football; it’s a dive into the complexities of power, loyalty, and the hidden dangers lurking behind a small-town façade. With awards already under its belt, including a Harvey and an Eisner, this series is poised to deliver a gripping storyline filled with unexpected twists. It seems that in Craw County, the stakes go way beyond a simple game under the Friday night lights.
