Brace yourselves, because Netflix is giving subscribers a double dose of badass broads with The Abandons. Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson co-star in the new drama series from Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter. And as you might guess from those 10-gallon hats, this one’s a Western.
Let’s ride.
Here’s the official log line from Netflix:
Washington Territory – 1854 – The matriarchs of two very different families — one of wealth and privilege bound by blood, the other a found family of orphans and outcasts bound by love and necessity — find their fates linked by two crimes, an awful secret, a star-crossed love, and a piece of land with silver underneath. The collision echoes the American struggle of the haves and have-nots, in a place just beyond the reach of justice.
This Western series will deliver class conflict, dueling queens, and the kind of hard-nosed drama audiences have come to expect from Sutter. But that’s not all. The Abandons also co-stars Nick Robinson, Diana Silvers, Lamar Johnson, Natalia del Riego, Lucas Till, Aisling Franciosi, Toby Hemingway, Michael Greyeyes, Ryan Hurst, Katelyn Wells, Clayton Cardenas, Elle-Maija Tailfeathers, Brían F. O’Byrne, Marc Menchaca, Patton Oswalt, Michael Ornstein, Jonathan Koensgen, Jack Doolan, Michiel Huisman, Haig Sutherland, and Sarah Grace White.
The Abandons premieres on Netflix on Dec. 4.
