Regina King to Direct Drama Series ‘Warriors’ in Development at ABC (Report)

*ABC is developing a drama series with Regina King attached as both director and executive producer, Variety reports.

Currently titled “Warriors,” the one-hour project from Michael Narducci takes place in a Midwestern community where two friends – a semi-retired NFL player and an idealistic high school principal – will attempt to bridge their conflicting styles of teaching as they mentoring a new generation of students and confront the long buried sins of their past.

Should “Warriors” receive a green light, it would mark King’s latest effort as a director. She has previously directed episodes of “This Is Us,” “The Good Doctor,” “Shameless,” and “Greenleaf.” She also directed and executive produced last year’s ABC pilot “The Finest,” which followed five African-American sisters who all worked in law enforcement.

Narducci would executive produce in addition to writing, with Michael J. McDonald also attached to executive produce along with King, according to Variety. Former pro football player Wade Davis will co-executive produce.

ABC Studios will produce along with King’s Royal Ties and McDonald’s Stearns Castle.

The project reunites McDonald and King, who previously worked together on the critically-acclaimed ABC series “American Crime.” King starred in that series with McDonald serving as an executive producer.
