“Band of Brothers” writer Bruce McKenna is teaming with David Broyles (“Six”) and Nick Jones Jr. (“Yasuke”) to write and produce a limited TV series “Buffalo Rangers” about the 2nd Ranger Company, the only all-Black special operations combat unit in U.S. history. The series is being produced by South Korea-based Moving Pictures Company, which has a growing English-language slate. Tim McCoy, a 2nd Ranger company historian for many years, will serve as a consultant to the project. The 2nd Rangers were made of volunteers from other army regiments and were commanded by Black officers. Martin Chase called the project, “a true, forgotten, classic action tale about Black men who displayed amazing courage and heroism in the face of war and seemingly insurmountable obstacles.”
