On October 1, 2025, Netflix announced the upcoming premiere of its new Western drama series "The Abandons." The show, set to debut on December 4, 2025, follows the stories of two matriarchs from vastly different families in the year 1854.
One family is bound by wealth and privilege, while the other is a found family of orphans and outcasts. The series explores how the fates of these two groups become intertwined by two crimes, a dark secret, a star-crossed love, and a piece of land with silver underneath. The collision of these elements "echoes the American struggle of the haves and have-nots, in a place just beyond the reach of justice."
The Abandons was created by Kurt Sutter, who serves as an executive producer alongside Chris Keyser, Robert Askins, Stephen Surjik, Otto Bathurst, Emmy Grinwis, and Jon Paré. The series boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Lena Headey, Gillian Anderson, Nick Robinson, Diana Silvers, and many others.
With its gritty Western setting and exploration of timely social themes, The Abandons promises to be a captivating new addition to Netflix's lineup of original dramas.
