The Prime Video limited-run Western series premieres Friday.
Looks like Emily Blunt (A Quiet Place) and Chaske Spencer (Wild Indian) are riding hard and taking lives on the vengeance trail in The English, the limited-run series premiering Friday, Nov. 11, on Prime Video. All six episodes of the Western drama will be available on that date, so be prepared to binge.
As we have previously reported:
“An epic chase Western, The English takes the core themes of identity and revenge to tell a uniquely compelling parable on race, power, and love. An aristocratic Englishwoman, Lady Cornelia Locke (Blunt), and a Pawnee ex-cavalry scout, Eli Whipp (Spencer), come together in 1890 mid-America to cross a violent landscape built on dreams and blood. Both of them have a clear sense of their destiny, but neither is aware that it is rooted in a shared past.
“They must face increasingly terrifying obstacles that will test them to their limits, physically and psychologically. But as each obstacle is overcome, it draws them closer to their ultimate destination —the new town of Hoxem, Wyoming. It is here, after an investigation by the local sheriff Robert Marshall [Stephen Rea of The Crying Game and Interview with the Vampire] and young widow Martha Myers [Valerie Pachner of A Hidden Life and The King’s Man] into a series of bizarre and macabre unsolved murders, that the full extent of their intertwined history will be truly understood, and they will come face-to-face with the future they must live.”
Here is the official trailer for The English.
