If you know anything about Quentin Tarantino, you know that he likes to dive deep into his projects. Unlike many other filmmakers out there, he rarely seems to be in any real rush to get anything out. He takes his time with the process, and it allows him to fully marinate in the world and get to know the characters. With Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, he even went so far as to write five full episodes of the fictional Western series Bounty Law.
But is there any chance we’d get to see those hit streaming or the small screen? Surprisingly enough, it does sound like Tarantino fully intends to do so.
“As far as the Bounty Law shows, I want to do that,” the auteur revealed to Deadline, “but it will take me a year and a half. It got an introduction from Once Upon a Tim in Hollywood, but I don’t really consider it part of that movie even though it is.”

And if you wanted there to be more filmmaking inside baseball in the show…this would not be it.
“This is not about Rick Dalton playing Jake Cahill. It’s about Jake Cahill,” Tarantino clarified. “Where all this came from was, I ended up watching a bunch of Wanted, Dead or Alive, and The Rifleman, and Tales of Wells Fargo, these half-hour shows to get in the mindset of Bounty Law, the kind of show Rick was on. I’d liked them before, but I got really into them. The concept of telling a dramatic story in half an hour. You watch and think, wow, there’s a helluva lot of storytelling going on in 22 minutes. I thought, I wonder if I can do that? I ended up writing five half-hour episodes. So I’ll do them, and I will direct all of them.”
In case you were wondering what Tarantino would do after he was done directing films, this could be it. In the past, he’d mentioned novels, but TV directing was something else he had also posited. This would fall perfectly in line with that.
