Lionsgate has signed a first-look TV deal–cable and broadcast–with independent film producers Sean and Bryan Furst.

The two, whose credits include the Pierce Brosnan vehicle, Matador, and Lionsgate’s 2002 theatrical release, The Cooler, are already working on a Lionsgate series for HBO, Tough Trade, described as a “bawdy fictional portrayal of one of Nashville’s most prominent and dysfunctional music families.”

Shauna Phelan, director of development for Furst Films, will shepherd the TV slate.
