American Primeval: A West That Was Wild and Free




Imagine a time before the Wild West became the Old West, a time when the land was untamed and the people who lived on it were even more so. That's the world of "American Primeval," a new Netflix series that takes viewers on a journey through the harsh and unforgiving landscape of the frontier.

The series follows a young mother (Betty Gilpin) and her son (Thomasin McKenzie) as they travel across the country in search of a new home. Along the way, they encounter a group of fur trappers, led by a charismatic frontiersman (Taylor Kitsch). The trappers offer the mother and son protection, but their motives are not always clear. As the group travels, they are hunted by a group of ruthless bounty hunters, led by an enigmatic figure known only as "The Preacher" (Shea Whigham).
