FX is developing quite a few limited series, which are basically just mini series with a limited amount of episodes set beforehand.

One of the limited series being developed that has just been announced is Mohicans, which is based on the James Fenimore Cooper novel The Last of the Mohicans. The story is set during the French and Indian War (the North American chapter of the many worldwide wars of the time that are together known as the Seven Years’ War) in 1757, and follows Natty Bumppo, also known as Hawkeye, a white man raised by Native Americans.

The FX project is described as “the story of America’s beginnings as a nation as told through the eyes of Cooper’s classic characters from the historical novel The Last of the Mohicans.”
