Delve into true stories of legendary Old West icons in this historical docudrama series.
Looking for a little more Wild West action? Then consider streaming the historical docudrama series Outlaws and Lawmen: The West, presented by Sean Hannity. Over the course of four episodes that will drop weekly on Wednesday nights starting May 8, Hannity will delve into true stories of legendary Old West icons, depicting the clashes of law versus crime and hero versus villain that ultimately led to the development of modern law enforcement.
According to Fox Nation: “During the limited series, Hannity will utilize the true stories of the outlaws and lawmen of America’s past to track the evolution of law enforcement from the Wild West to today. From Butch Cassidy to Bass Reeves to Billy the Kid, Hannity details the men of both honor and infamy, bringing life to the myths, legends, and truths of the time. Each episode will feature a single character or duo’s story in a journey that re-imagines the volatile era, illustrating the West’s transition from lawless to law and order.”
Hannity serves as host and narrator for the historical re-enactments, with input from such experts as film historian Andrew Patrick Nelson, co-host of the podcast How the West Was ‘Cast, and Bob Boze Bell, executive editor of True West Magazine.
“As our viewers know,” says Hannity, “I am a strong supporter of our men and women in law enforcement and I look forward to spotlighting a period of time that is pivotal in their origin.”
FOX Nation president Lauren Petterson adds: “Viewers will feel as if they’ve teleported back to the Wild West as Sean Hannity masterfully bridges the past and the present, highlighting this fascinating era of time.”
Outlaws and Lawmen: The West will join a Fox Nation lineup that currently includes Deep in the Heart, an hour-long documentary narrated by Matthew McConaughey that celebrates the landscape, wildlife and wonder that can only be found in McConaughey’s home state of Texas; and Yellowstone One-Fifty with Kevin Costner, a four-part series commemorating the 150th anniversary of Yellowstone National Park; and such classic Western movies as Tombstone, The Cowboys, and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
