‘Billy the Kid’ Preview


The latest series coming to EPIX is “Billy the Kid,” an eight-episode romantic western adventure “based on the life of famous American outlaw Billy the Kid (Tom Blyth), also known as William H. Bonney,” according to the EPIX press release.

It continues:

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. Daniel 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 has always been a hero of mine since I was – well, a kid!” said creator Michael Hirst in a statement. “I grew up in the North of England, but it made no difference! Billy was a special kind of outlaw. For a start he was so young – and for another thing, he wasn’t a psychopath who enjoyed killing, nor a criminal who robbed for material gain. He was an outlaw most of his life, but he never wanted to be. … Billy’s story is much more than a fantastic drama about a charismatic cowboy – although it is that! It’s also the story of the immigrant, and the story of the creation of the new America from the lawless, violent chaos of the mid-West and its many nations. So in the end it’s not just a story at all – it’s an American myth!”

“Michael Hirst has created a series that will take the audience on an entirely unexpected, thrilling ride, turning what they thought they knew about this iconic character on its head,” said Michael Wright, President, EPIX. “We can’t wait to see how this talented creative team unfolds this story and brings it to life for our viewers.”

The premiere episode is titled “The Immigrants” and its description reads, “In 1871, 12-year-old Billy McCarty and his immigrant Irish family have to leave New York and travel west to seek new opportunities; but the journey proves fatal for some.”

Episode two airs directly following the premiere. It is titled “The Rattler” and its description reads, “Kathleen and her sons Billy and Joe travel on to Santa Fe; life is hard, but she meets and marries a man who might change everything for the better – only to find that he makes it a lot worse.”

“Billy the Kid” airs Sundays at 10 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times on EPIX.
