Timothy Olyphant has expressed support for a half-hour sitcom spin-off of the crime drama Justified, centered on Patton Oswalt's character Constable Bob Sweeney.
Olyphant shared the idea in comments to Esquire. He recalled discussions during the original series production about giving the Harlan County constable his own show. The actor described the concept as a strong fit for the character's comedic scenes amid the neo-Western narrative.
FX secured the rights to Justified after a bidding war that included HBO as a finalist. Series creator Graham Yost cited FX chairman John Landgraf's passion for author Elmore Leonard as the deciding factor.

Wahlberg shared that Selleck was supportive during private talks before the series premiered. Selleck himself indicated reluctance to reprise his role as Frank Reagan.
