Executive Greenlight Dossier
CONFIRMED
Ready for Production Greenlight
The cattle trail spans 2,450 authentic miles with 5 core waypoints. Budget is balanced at $15.0M per episode with superior historical fidelity (94/100). Ready for showrunner development and location scouting.
Showrunner Note (East of Eden Team):
Focus remains pinned on the dual psychological contrast between Call's duty-driven silence and Augustus McCrae's exuberant philosophizing along the Goodnight-Loving and Western Trail corridors.
