Amazon has renewed Outer Range for a second season.

Starring Josh Brolin, the Western series follows Royal Abbott, a rancher fighting for his land and family, who discovers an unfathomable mystery at the edge of Wyoming’s wilderness. 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 neighbouring 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.

Created by Brian Watkins, the fable about how we grapple with the unknown co-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 eight-episode first season premiered in April this year. Now, Amazon has announced that it will return, but with a significant change behind the scenes: replacing Watkins as showrunner will be Charles Murray (Luke Cage, Sons of Anarchy and True Story), who has an overall deal with Amazon Studios. Watkins will continue executive producing.

First look: Outer Range rides onto Amazon this April

26th February 2022

Outer Range, starring Josh Brolin, will ride onto Amazon Prime Video this April, and new images give us a first look at the drama.

The eight-episode series follows Royal Abbott (Josh Brolin), a rancher fighting for his land and family, who discovers an unfathomable mystery at the edge of Wyoming’s wilderness. A fable with hints of wry humor and supernatural mystery, Outer Range examines how we grapple with the unknown.

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 neighbouring 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.

Led by Brolin (Milk), the ensemble cast includes 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 series is created by Brian Watkins, who executive produces alongside Zev Borow, Heather Rae, Josh Brolin, Robin Sweet, Tony Krantz, Amy Seimetz, Lawrence Trilling, and Plan B Entertainment for Amazon Studios. The executive producers for Plan B Entertainment are Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, and Brad Pitt.

The series will be available to stream on Amazon Prime Video in April – watch this space for an exact release date and a trailer.

Brolin last appeared on TV back in 2003 for legal drama Mister Sterling, but he has recently been writing and exec-producing a project for Hulu, even as he’s become best known for his feature film work.
