Fans of a certain beloved British actor are in for a serious shock. In a radical departure from his usual roles, the star has undergone a staggering physical metamorphosis for his part in Netflix's upcoming gritty Western series, 'The Abandons'.
The dramatic new project is helmed by Kurt Sutter, the visionary creator behind the iconic biker drama 'Sons of Anarchy'. Sutter is known for his raw, intense storytelling, and this new series promises to be no exception.
A Star Unrecognisable
Gone is the clean-cut appearance audiences are familiar with. For his role in the lawless world of 'The Abandons', the actor has been outfitted with long, unkempt hair, a thick, rugged beard, and a weathered demeanour that makes him virtually impossible to recognise at first glance. This is a complete reinvention for the screen.
What is 'The Abandons' About?
Set in the ruthless American West of the 1850s, the series delves into the dark underbelly of the pursuit of the American Dream. It follows the brutal journey of a diverse group of outlier families as they desperately pursue their Manifest Destiny. Their quest for power and land draws them into a bloody battle with a corrupt force of wealth and authority, forcing them to take justice into their own hands.
The series explores the fine line between survival and lawlessness, asking the haunting question: when is violence justified?
The impressive cast includes renowned figures such as Lena Headey, known for her iconic role in 'Game of Thrones', and Nick Robinson. This transformative role is set to redefine the British star's career and showcase a side of his talent that viewers have never seen before.
