Hellion Kat Candler USA, 2012
Kat Candler will write the Texas-set project about a woman who leads the state's biggest strike.
DuVernay and former Queen Sugar showrunner Kat Candler are developing a drama about a Texas labor activist for TNT. The project comes from DuVernay's ARRAY Filmworks and Warner Horizon Scripted Television, a division of Warner Bros. TV Group — where DuVerney signed a rich overall deal late last year.
The untitled drama, which Candler is writing, is described as a modern-day Norma Rae. It centers on a struggling young wife and mother who, after an oil refinery explosion takes the life of an old friend, will go on to lead one of the biggest union strikes in Texas history.
Candler was the showrunner for season three of OWN's Queen Sugar after having served as the show's producing director during the second season. She has also written several episodes of the show and directed installments of 13 Reasons Why, Sorry for Your Loss and season two of Dirty John, along with feature film Hellion.

“Changing the Industry Game”: Queen Sugar Showrunner and Directors Talk Career Advancement at IFP Week
Filmmaker Elisabeth Subrin (A Woman, A Part) sends this short dispatch from IFP Week’s Screen Forward Talks: Notes to the Future Sunday program — specifically, the afternoon panel, “Through the Generations: Queen Sugar: Ava DuVernay and Oprah Winfrey’s Queen Sugar.” The panel featured IFP alums Kat Candler (Hellion), Julie Dash (Daughters of the Dust), DeMane Davis (Lift), Lauren Wolkstein (The Strange Ones).
Beyond the brilliance of the series itself, Ava Duvernay’s production model for Queen Sugar, a cable series on the Oprah Winfrey Network, is visionary and proactive. By choosing to hire only women independent film directors who have never worked in the episodic television form, she is profoundly changing the industry game, and changing women filmmaker’s lives in unprecedented ways.
