Yahoo TV reveals the long awaited first image of James Purefoy and Michael K. Williams as Hap and Leonard.

Michael K. Williams as a hot-tempered, gay Vietnam vet who helps
solve crimes with his ex-convict BFF (THE FOLLOWING’s James
Purefoy) and the BFF’s ex-wife, played by MAD MEN alum
Christina Hendricks? How soon can we binge-watch it?As this exclusive Yahoo TV first look at a photo from Sundance
TV’s upcoming HAP AND LEONARD drama illustrates, that
fine cast will unspool a “darkly comic swamp noir story” with a
strong country vibe. Set in a small Texas town in the 1980s, the
series is based on a series of novels and novellas by author Joe R.
Lansdale, whose Hap Collins and Leonard Pine will also star in a
series of graphic novels that will be released later this year.
Also coming in March 2016 from Tachyon is HAP AND LEONARD, a collection of the finest Joe R. Lansdale short stories featuring the not-so-dynamic East Texas duo.
