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.
The Abandons will be released this holiday season, on December 4, exclusively on Netflix globally.
The trailer of The Abandons glimpses 1854 lawless Washington Territory, as Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson battle for silver-rich land, dark secrets, illicit love, and power challenges, stretching family ties, moral convictions, and the human will to survive.
The Abandons is headlinedby Lena Headey, Gillian Anderson, and Ryan Hurst. Nick Robinson, Diana Silvers, Lamar Johnson, and Natalia del Riego represent the Abandons family; Lucas Till, Aisling Franciosi, and Toby Hemingway headline the Van Ness Dynasty, which features an extensive ensemble.
The show has no IMDb rating yet, but it's already stirring up buzz for its cinematic storytelling and powerhouse cast.
