HBO has acquired the rights to develop the nonfiction book The Fort Bragg Cartel: Drug Trafficking and Murder in the Special Forces by Seth Harp in what it describes as a "fiercely sought-after deal," Deadline reported. The series will be executive produced by Harp along with Len Amato, through his company Crash&Salvage. A search is currently underway for a writer/showrunner.
The Fort Bragg Cartel "details the investigation into a string of unsolved killings in and around the special operations base, revealing a network of narco-trafficking conspiracies that corrupt police abetted and the military covered up," Deadline wrote.
