Epix has released a teaser trailer for the romantic adventure series Billy the Kid which stars Tom Blyth in the title role along with Daniel Webber as Jesse Evans, the leader of the Seven Rivers Gang. Based on the life of the legendary Old West outlaw, it follows his story from his early days as a gunslinger to his pivotal role in the Lincoln County War; watch it here…
The eight-episode season comprised of hour-long episodes is an epic romantic adventure based on the life of famous American outlaw Billy the Kid (Blyth), also known as William H. Bonney — from his humble Irish roots, to his early days as a cowboy and gunslinger in the American frontier, to his pivotal role in the Lincoln County War and beyond. Webber will play Jesse Evans, another famous outlaw and leader of the Seven Rivers Gang. When they meet, Jesse has already embraced a life of crime: robbing stores and cattle rustling. Billy is attracted to his wild and reckless character and becomes Billy’s doppelganger of sorts — his shadow self, forever inviting him over to the dark side of life.
Billy the Kid is slated to premiere on Epix in 2022.
