McGraw to Exec. Produce, Star in New TNT Series ‘Robbers’

Tim McGraw

Tim McGraw will have some fun indulging his inner bad guy on his latest project, Robbers. The star is producing and starring in the new crime drama series, which will air on TNT.

Based on Christopher Cook’s 2000 debut novel, the show is described as being in the same noir vein as Cormac McCarthy’s No Country For Old Men. It tells the story of a cop, two buddies on a crime spree across Texas, and the girl who complicates things in a very unique love triangle, according to deadline.com. McGraw would reportedly portray one of the drifters, Ray Bob, who is the worst of the worst.

“We’re writing a series right now called Robbers where I’m gonna play a really bad guy,” says McGraw. “It’s still in the workin’ stages right now. We’re just writing and stuff, but if it all comes together it’s gonna be a lot a fun. It’s fun to play a bad guy. You get to sort of step outside yourself a little bit.”

McGraw also has a couple of big screen appearances on tap for the near future, including The Shack, and opposite George Clooney in Tomorrowland.
