NEW YORK — Quentin Tarantino and Sylvester Stallone are joining forces as they move to the small screen for an upcoming Depression-era series.

The as-yet untitled six-episode series, taking place in the 1930s, will lean heavily into its setting as it will be filmed in black and white, shot with cameras from that period, insiders with direct knowledge told TMZ.

The show is said to be full of “gangsters, showgirls, boxing and music,” according to the outlet.

Though Stallone, 79, is set to work on the show rather than in it, it’s unclear which role he’ll hold behind-the-scenes.

Academy Award-nominated director Tarantino, 62, typically writes and helms his own projects — including “Pulp Fiction” and “Django Unchained,” for which he won his two Best Original Screenplay Oscars.

But he split creative duties on the upcoming “The Adventures of Cliff Booth”— a sequel to his Oscar-winning “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” — with director David Fincher. In the 1990s, Tarantino co-wrote the Tony Scott-directed “True Romance” and Robert Rodriguez-directed “From Dusk Till Dawn.”

Stallone has several dozen screenplay credits to his name, including all six “Rocky” films — the first of which earned him an Oscar nomination — as well as six episodes of his Paramount+ starring vehicle “Tulsa King.” Stallone also co-wrote the “Rambo” and “Expendables” films, and directed some.

Both creators have some experience with period pieces.

Stallone explored his native New York through the lens of the 1940s in his 1978 directorial debut, “Paradise Alley,” which he also wrote and starred in.

World War II-set “Inglourious Basterds,” meanwhile, remains one of Tarantino’s most beloved films.
