Get ready for an epic tale of redemption as Django adapts the tale of the acclaimed Spaghetti Western.

We first reported on Django almost a year ago, with the show billed as fresh new take on the Western genre with a contemporary and psychological twist.

Now the ten-part drama, which stars Matthias Schoenaerts, Noomi Rapace, Nicholas Pinnock and Lisa Vicari has dropped an epic trailer.

Django is loosely based on the cult classic by Sergio Corbucci. Set in late 1800s Texas, it follow a jaded cowboy in search of the daughter he thought he’d lost.

Here’s the premise for Django:

In following his daughter’s trail, Django comes upon New Babylon, a town at the bottom of a crater, where all outcasts are welcome and where everyone is equal and free. Here, Django discovers that his daughter is alive and set to marry John Ellis, the founder of New Babylon. Sarah – who blames her father for the death of their family, massacred many years earlier while he was at war – wants Django to leave.

But he refuses to give up and does everything in his power to get a second chance with her, becoming a valuable ally for Ellis, who must defend the town from Elizabeth Thurman’s attacks. Unbeknownst to them, Django, John, and Sarah are linked by a web of secrets and a dark past bound to resurface.

While Matthias Schoenaerts plays the title role, Nicholas Pinnock is John Ellis. Lisa Vicari plays Django’s daughter Sarah and Noomi Rapace is John’s powerful and ruthless enemy Elizabeth Thurman. The cast also includes Jyuddah Jaymes, Benny O. Arthur and Eric Kole as John Ellis’s children and Tom Austen as cowboy Eljiah Turner.
