HBO Max orders The Last of the Mohicans TV series from Cary Fukunaga and Nicole Kassell

The Hollywood Reporter

Emmy-winning Maniac and True Detective vet Fukunaga and Watchmen director Kassel are teaming on a new take on James Fenimore Cooper's classic novel described as a "retelling of the author's French and Indian War novel that focuses on the unlikely romance between Uncas, a young Mohican, and Cora, the mixed-race daughter of a British colonel." Kassel will serve as director, while Fukunaga will write the series with Nick Osborne.
