The Warriors will become a tv series for Hulu

The Russos are teaming with writer Frank Baldwin, according to the exclusive from Deadline, for the television adaptation of the Walter Hill film from 1979, which was in turn an adaptation of the 1965 novel by Sol Yurick, which was again an adaptation of the Greek Myth Anabasis by Xenophon. Lotta ‘dapting going on. The series will be co-produced by Paramount and Hulu for airing on the subscription streaming service. There’s not a whole lot of information, but Deadline says the show will honor the original while spicing things up with “its own unique brand of grit, pulp, sex, and violence.” Sounds very promising.

That's awesome.

Come at the king, you best not miss.

I'm usually pretty dubious about things like this, but the Russos can handle ensemble casts really well and the video game proves that the Warriors' story can be fleshed out decently enough, so I'm happy with this announcement.

It's hot... but not as hot as the night Johnny Viti got married...

Can't wait to see how it turns out

When will the story be set? Will it be NYC in the last 70s? If it set in present day I do not think it would work.

True true. Although 90s or 80s can work.

Can't wait for this!
