No word on how soon The Cartel will debut, but one imagines this is now a top priority for the network. Don Winslow is the author of twenty-two acclaimed, award-winning international bestsellers, including the New York Times bestsellers The Force and The Border, the 1 international bestseller The Cartel, The Power of the Dog, Savages, and The Winter of Frankie Machine. The Cartel covers somewhat familiar territory for FX-they did have The Bridge a few years back-but Winslow’s source material feels especially relevant in the era of the Trump Administration. In addition to The Cartel, FX also has the long-awaited Y: The Last Man TV series coming later this year, as well as Annihilation filmmaker Alex Garland’s sci-fi series Devs. And with Netflix, Disney+, and Apple on the horizon, FX is taking seriously the challenge to combat them in the content realm. From the New York Times bestselling author, here is the first novel in the explosive Power of the Dog seriesan action-filled look at the drug trade that takes you deep inside a world riddled with corruption, betrayal, and bloody revenge.
