Kurt Sutter’s (Sons of Anarchy) new action drama The Abandons has officially begun production in Calgary. Sutter created the drama and serves as showrunner and executive producer.
“I am fascinated by the metamorphosis of good into evil. What must transpire to drive the morally sound to become the dangerously corrupt,” explained Sutter. “The Abandons explores those complex compromises through the most powerful human instinct — the love and protection of mothers.”
The drama’s set in the West and stars Lena Headey, Gillian Anderson, Nick Robinson, Diana Silvers, Lamar Johnson, Natalia del Riego, Lucas Till, and Aisling Franciosi. Toby Hemingway, Michael Greyeyes, Katelyn Wells, Elle-Maija Tailfeathers, Brían F. O’Byrne, Marc Menchaca, Patton Oswalt, and Michael Ornstein also star.
The season one ensemble also includes Jonathan Koensgen, Jack Doolan, Michiel Huisman, Haig Sutherland, and Sarah White. Sons of Anarchy fan favorite Ryan Hurst and Mayans M.C.‘s Clayton Cardenas also star.
“As a group of diverse, outlier families pursue their Manifest Destiny in 1850s Oregon, a corrupt force of wealth and power, coveting their land, tries to force them out. These abandoned souls, the kind of lost souls living on the fringe of society, unite their tribes to form a family and fight back,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “In this bloody process, ‘justice’ is stretched beyond the boundaries of the law. The Abandons will explore that fine line between survival and law, the consequences of violence, and the corrosive power of secrets, as this family fights to keep their land.”
In addition to Kurt Sutter, season one is executive produced by Stephen Surjik, Otto Bathurst, Emmy Grinwis, and Jon Paré.
