If you enjoy your westerns with a touch of the supernatural, then Outer Range might be just what the doctor ordered. Prime Video has released a new trailer for Outer Range, an eight-episode series that stars Josh Brolin. The actor plays Royal Abbott, a rancher fighting for his territory and family at the edge of Wyoming’s wilderness who must grapple with the unknown after discovering an unfathomable mystery on his land.
The Outer Range trailer gives us everything we expect from a modern-day western: unending stares into the distance, hats, and families fighting over land, but the addition of a few supernatural mysteries has certainly piqued my interest, not to mention Josh Brolin’s first TV role in quite some time. In addition to Brolin, Outer Range also stars Imogen Poots (I Know This Much Is True), Lili Taylor (Perry Mason), Tamara Podemski (Four Sheets to the Wind), Lewis Pullman (Top Gun: Maverick), Tom Pelphrey (Ozark), Noah Reid (Schitt’s Creek), Shaun Sipos (Krypton), Isabel Arraiza (The Little Things), Olive Abercrombie (The Haunting of Hill House), and Will Patton (Yellowstone).
The official synopsis for Outer Range:
At the onset of the series, the Abbotts are coping with the disappearance of daughter-in-law Rebecca. They are pushed further to the brink when the Tillersons (the gaudy owners of the neighboring profit-driven ranch) make a play for their land. An untimely death in the community sets off a chain of tension-filled events, and seemingly small-town, soil-bound troubles come to a head with the arrival of a mysterious black void in the Abbotts’ west pasture. Wild revelations unfold as Royal fights to protect his family; through his eyes, we begin to see how time contains secrets held in the past and unsettling mysteries foreshadowed.
Two episodes of Outer Range will premiere on Prime Video each Friday starting on April 15th.
