Netflix has recently shared the first look images for its highly anticipated series, “The Abandons,” which is poised to make its debut on December 4.
This Western drama is set in the year 1854 and centers around two matriarchs from vastly different backgrounds. According to the show’s official description, “one family is steeped in wealth and privilege, while the other is a makeshift family of orphans and outcasts, united by love and necessity. Their lives become intertwined as they face two crimes, an unsettling secret, a tragic romantic connection, and a piece of land hiding precious silver beneath its surface.”
The narrative explores the clash between the affluent and the disadvantaged, set in a realm where justice is elusive. Created by Kurt Sutter, who also serves as an executive producer, the show’s production team includes Chris Keyser, Robert Askins, Stephen Surjik, Otto Bathurst, Emmy Grinwis, and Jon Paré.
The cast features an impressive lineup including Lena Headey, Gillian Anderson, 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 White.
