Universal Content Productions and Teton Ridge Entertainement developing U.S Adaptation for Peacock
Montreal, May 26, 2026 – Universal Content Productions and Teton Ridge Entertainment have officially launched the development on an American adaptation of the hit Quebec series Le Clan for Peacock. The reimagined series, titled Stoic Ridge, transforms Joanne Arseneau’s original universe into a contemporary Western infused with psychological tension, exploring themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the inescapable pull of the past.
The project marks a rare and significant milestone, as only a handful of Quebec series have ever advanced to a major U.S. adaptation.
“We’re incredibly proud to see a homegrown project reach this pivotal stage toward a large-scale American adaptation. The journey has been long, rigorous, and highly competitive, which makes this moment especially meaningful. Le Clan has lived with us for years, and we’re confident and excited about where this international chapter will lead”, said producers Cécile Chevrier, Joanne Forgues, and Josée Desrosiers.
Adding to the momentum, the adaptation will be helmed by acclaimed creator and showrunner Robert Munic (Power Book IV: Force, Empire, The Cleaner). The series is being developed in collaboration with Teton Ridge Entertainment, a major force in the Western genre and the rights holder to iconic titles including High Noon and Lonesome Dove, as well as the biographical rights to John Wayne.
Originally produced in Quebec and Acadia by Phare-Est Média, Productions Casablanca, and Avenue Productions, and directed by Jim Donovan, Le Clan first aired on ICI Radio-Canada Télé in 2015 before its two seasons landed on Netflix in 2018.
The series follows Yannick Moreau, a former criminal living under a new identity after cooperating with authorities in a drug case that put his former associates behind bars. Now rebuilding his life in Quebec with the woman he loves and their children, his fragile peace is shattered when his father and brothers – once his partners in organized crime – are released from prison.
More updates to come as the project moves forward.
