Lena Headey vs Gillian Anderson in Western ‘The Abandons’ Trailer

“You make extortion sound like progress.” Netflix has revealed the official trailer for The Abandons, yet another new western series set in the old days of America. When a corrupt force of wealth and power covets the lands of a group of diverse and atypical families and tries to drive them out, they must pursue their Manifest Destiny. The Abandons is created by writer Kurt Sutter and is set in the 1850s in Washington. Two families led by powerful matriarchs — one wealthy, one poor but deeply loyal — battle for supremacy on the unforgiving frontier. Talented actors Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson go head-to-head in this gritty and cinematic storytelling of the haves and have nots. The Abandons premieres in December streaming on Netflix if you want to watch them battle & bicker. The full ensemble includes 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, Jack Doolan, Michiel Huisman, Haig Sutherland, and Sarah White. Have a look. // Continue Reading ›
