Duster's LaToya Morgan & J.J. Abrams Have a 5-Season Plan for Their HBO Max Crime Thriller

Video Description

Creator and producer LaToya Morgan is no stranger to making great TV. You may already be familiar with her work on such shows as Into the Badlands and The Walking Dead, and it was her writing, she reveals, that attracted the attention of J.J. Abrams, who requested a meeting with her to explore her ideas further. One of her scripts that stood out immediately was a crime thriller with a Western flair; Abrams instantly supplied his own nugget of a scene, one that he'd always envisioned Josh Holloway. From there, the idea quickly evolved into Duster, a '70s crime thriller about to debut on HBO Max this week. Ahead of Duster's premiere, Collider had the opportunity to speak with Morgan about the process of creating the series alongside Abrams, as well as how many seasons' worth of story they currently have developed. Over the course of the interview, which you can watch above or read below, Morgan also discusses the sound of Duster (including which artists were too expensive to get), the research she did into real-life Black FBI agents to inform Nina Hayes' (Rachel Hilson) story, writing for Keith David's complex mob boss character, and more. #duster #jjabrams #latoyamorgancollider For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit https://collider.com FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL https://twitter.com/collider https://instagram.com/collider https://facebook.com/collider
