Billed as a thrilling fable, Outer Range blends wry humour and a supernatural mystery. 

Promising a Western with a twist, Amazon Studios have released details of their upcoming series Outer Range. Starring John Brolin, it’s the tale of a rancher which spins off into the supernatural.

Here’s the synopsis for Outer Range:

Outer Range centers on 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 thrilling 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 neighboring 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.

Around Josh Brolin, there’s an impressive cast assembled including Imogen Poots (Christopher and His Kind) and Lili Taylor. Tamara Podemski, Lewis Pullman, Tom Pelphrey, Shaun Sipos, Isabel Arraiza, Olive Abercrombie and Will Patton will also star.

The show’s creator is Brian Watkins. He also executive produces with Zev Borow, Heather Rae, Josh Brolin, Robin Sweet, Tony Krantz, Amy Seimetz, Lawrence Trilling, and Plan B Entertainment for Amazon Studios. Executive producers for Plan B Entertainment are Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, and Brad Pitt.

Outer Range is coming to Prime Video in April and runs for eight episodes. We will let you know when we hear more.
