Netflix has shared the mature-rated American Primeval trailer for its newest Western thriller drama, starring The Terminal List’s Taylor Kitsch and GLOW’s Betty Gilpin. The miniseries will be available for streaming starting next Thursday, January 9, 2025.
“This is America…1857. Up is down, pain is everywhere, innocence and tranquility are losing the battle to hatred and fear,” reads the synopsis. “Peace is the shrinking minority, and very few possess grace — even fewer know compassion. There is no safe haven in these brutal lands, and only one goal matters: survival. American Primeval is a fictionalized dramatization and examination of the violent collision of culture, religion, and community as men and women fight and die to keep or control this land.”
