The story isn't quite over for Hatfields & McCoys.
Seven months after the History Channel miniseries concluded, NBC has ordered a modern-day version of the historical western story to pilot.
Set in Pittsburgh, the story picks up when a shocking death reignites the feud between the blue collar McCoys and the affluent and powerful Hatfields. Suddenly, decades of resentment is unleashed as the two famous families go to war for control of the city. The project was penned by Eagle Eye scribe John Glenn, who will also executive-produce.
