Johnathan Walton Media has struck a deal with The Hideaway Entertainment to develop his latest true-crime podcast, “The Handyman of West Texas,” for the screen.

Walton is a popular true-crime podcast host who began building his own media firm after he produced a successful podcast series about his own devastating encounter with a scam artist. “The Handyman of West Texas” tells the steamy story of a male sex worker in Midland, Texas who serves an upper-crust female clientele in the oil boom town. The six-episode podcast series bowed in January.
