The new streaming series sees him resurrected by the devil and given a second chance.
Kevin Bacon might be the ultimate movie star, from Footloose to A Few Good Men to Apollo 13. Heck, there’s even a game based on how many connections any actor is to him.
Bacon is not allergic to television either, appearing as himself in The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special in 2022 and popping up in Colin From Accounts. For the last decade, he’s also been over the ads for the UK’s EE network too.
Now, Prime Video have dropped the details of his upcoming streaming series, promising supernatural action and country music.
The Bondsman
Kevin Bacon plays Hub Halloran, a murdered bounty hunter who’s back from the dead after being resurrected by the Devil to trap and send back demons that have escaped from the prison of Hell. By chasing down those demons with the help and hindrance of his estranged family, Hub learns how his own sins got his soul condemned — which pushes him to seek a second chance at life, love, and country music.
The series also stars Jennifer Nettles (The Righteous Gemstones) and Damon Herriman (The Artful Dodger). Plus, Beth Grant (Donnie Darko), Maxwell Jenkins (Lost in Space) and Jolene Purdy (WandaVision).
The show comes from Blumhouse Television, Marker 96 and CrimeThink Production Company. The series creator is Grainger David and the showrunner is Erik Oleson (Daredevil). Both executive produce alongside Bacon and Jason Blum.
All eight episodes of The Bondsman land globally at Prime Video on Thursday, April 3rd, 2025. We’ll update when there’s a trailer.
