Netflix has green-lit Sutter’s Western drama The Abandons for a 10-episode run.
Nearly a year after the series was first reported to be in development, The Abandons — a new Western drama from Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter — has been officially given the go-ahead for a 10-episode run by Netflix.
What’s it all about? According to Netflix: “As a group of diverse, outlier families pursue their Manifest Destiny in 1850s Oregon, a corrupt force of wealth and power, coveting their land, tries to force them out. These abandoned souls, the kind of lost souls living on the fringe of society, unite their tribes to form a family and fight back. In this bloody process, ‘justice’ is stretched beyond the boundaries of the law. The Abandons will explore that fine line between survival and law, the consequences of violence, and the corrosive power of secrets, as this family fights to keep their land.”
Sutter will serve as executive producer and showrunner for the series, which does not yet have an announced cast or premiere date. Watch this space for further developments.
