Streetwear Drama Series From Justin Chon, Bobby Hundreds & Garrett Basch In Works At FX
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Justin Chon (Chief of War, Pachinko), Bobby Hundreds and Garrett Basch (What We Do in the Shadows, Reservation Dogs) are developing the half-hour series Burnfield based on Hundreds and Chon’s experience in the streetwear scene, preemptively bought by FX, sources tell Deadline.
Hundreds (née Kim) co-founded the streetwear brand The Hundreds alongside Bobby Hundreds (née Shenassafar) more than two decades ago.
According to its official website, the company’s apparel is reminiscent of ‘90s workwear and Californian subculture tribes. Bobby Hundreds noted on the company’s blog in 2016, that he found inspiration in the early years from “an enclave of renegade graphic designers coming out of San Diego, Hawaii, and Hong Kong” because they were “weird with placements, neon prints, and bold statements.” Chon owned and operated a chain of streetwear multi-stores called The Attic in Southern California for 10 years.
Chon and Hundreds will co-create and co-showrun the series. Both are executive producers alongside Basch through his first-look deal at FX.
