Add stars Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick to the mix as television production continues to be red hot in Texas.

The married couple is producing a series for TNT tentatively titled Zapata, Texas, and has been scouting locations in Austin for the show's pilot. Bacon will direct.

The story is set on the Texas-Mexico border and, according to TNT, follows a newly elected sheriff as he "navigates the equally treacherous waters of small-town politics and the volatile world of the U.S.-Mexico border." Since Sedgwick's The Closer is TNT's centerpiece series, a Zapata series pickup is very likely.
