Based on book 'The Barbary Coast' by Herbert Asbury, who also wrote 'The Gangs of New York', Collee will write the script with Gibson, who will likely direct the pilot.
Kate Hudson and her foster dad, Kurt Russell, who starred with Gibson in 1988's Tequila Sunrise, are also on board.
Samuel L. Jackson and Kurt Russell are set to join Quentin Tarantino in Australia to push upcoming feature film The Hateful Eight.
