The upcoming American mystery thriller streaming television series Outer Range, created by Brian Watkins for Amazon Prime Video, is scheduled to premiere on April 15, 2022. The plot of the series follows rancher Royal Abbott and his family who are caught in a land dispute and suddenly experience supernatural occurrences when they encounter a mysterious traveler and a giant sinkhole appears on their ranch. The Wrap described the premise of the series by comparing it to similar shows saying, “The show looks to blend the ranching drama stylings of the Paramount Network hit series “Yellowstone” with the supernatural mystery box nature of “Lost,” as a massive void appears on Abbott’s ranch just as he’s in a land battle with the neighboring family.” The trailer of the upcoming Western series has gotten us all excited and the series features an ensemble cast with Josh Brolin playing the lead role.
