The former Californication star is teaming with The Peanut Butter Falcon writers Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz in adapting his fourth novel, which was released last month, as a potential drama series. "In Truly Like Lightning, the unplugged, off-the-grid, almost biblical desert lives of former Hollywood stuntman, Bronson Powers (Duchovny) and his 3 wives and 10 children is upended when a ruthless real estate developer stumbles upon his thousands of acres in Joshua Tree and tries to force him off his land and return his family to the temptations and modernity of 21st century America," according to Deadline. "The book is described as a heartbreaking meditation on family, religion, sex, greed, human nature, and the vanishing environment of an ancient desert."
