Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson lead this gritty Western drama
Premieres December 4, exclusively on Netflix
Filled with betrayal, secrets, romance, and a battle over land

A fierce new Western comes to Netflix in December that pits two formidable forces against each other. The Abandons is set to spotlight two rival matriarchs – played by Game of Thrones beauty Lena Headey and The Crown star Gillian Anderson – who are warring in a fight driven by money, power, and justice. Located in the unforgiving American frontier of the 1850s, it's an examination of a brutal division between haves and have-nots. A compelling story about betrayal, secrets, revenge, and the protection of loved ones is woven through the plot and told with raw emotion, a bold look, and an impressive cast.
