Lena Headey is heading to the wild West in the upcoming action drama series The Abandons. The five-time Emmy nominee will portray Fiona, a matriarch who adopts four orphans after being unable to have children of her own. Driven by her faith and strong-willed Irish temper, Fiona will do anything to protect her family — which is key to survival in this dangerous landscape.
The Abandons tells the story of a group of diverse families pursuing their Manifest Destiny in1850s Oregon. These abandoned souls live on the fringes of society, and must unite their tribes to fight against a corrupt force of wealth and power that’s trying to drive them out of their land. The Western drama will explore the bloody consequences of fighting for one’s home as the line between survival and law is blurred.
Created and executive produced by showrunner Kurt Sutter (Sons of Anarchy, Mayans M.C.), The Abandons is a pulse-pounding Western drama you’ll want to hitch your wagon to.
