The Boondock Saints Headed To Television?

The original Boondock Saints film is a modern cult classic.  It's 2009 sequel wasn't as well recieved and an overall weak film.  Troy Duffy, the director of both, has been talking up a third film lately but now it seems The Boondock Saints could go television.  Duffy recently spoke about the project and indicated that franchise stars Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus would return as the McManus brothers for this small screen project.
     "We've been approached to do a possible Boondock Saints TV series. So the fans may be getting a part 3 as a television show. We might be able to pull that off....I actually called both Sean and Norman and they both said 'Hell yeah, we'll drop everything.'
     When asked if the possible TV suitor is a cable network such as HBO or AMC, Troy Duffy simply replied, "That is correct." Cable networks would allow for the type of violence and language fans of Boondock Saints have come to expect and enjoy in this particular movie series.
