Netflix Reveals Premiere Date for New Drama 'The Abandons' Starring Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson

Netflix has today announced the premiere date for its upcoming original drama series The Abandons starring Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson.







All seven episodes of the first season will be available on Thursday, December 4.

Washington Territory, 1854. The matriarchs (Headey, Anderson) of two very different families - one of wealth and privilege bound by blood, the other a found family of orphans and outcasts bound by love and necessity - find their fates linked by two crimes, an awful secret, a star-crossed love, and a piece of land with silver underneath. The collision echoes the American struggle of the haves and have-nots, in a place just beyond the reach of justice.

In addition to Headey and Anderson, the drama stars Nick Robinson, Diana Silvers, Lamar Johnson, Natalia del Riego, Lucas Till, Aisling Franciosi, Toby Hemingway, Michael Greyeyes, Ryan Hurst, Katelyn Wells, Clayton Cardenas, Elle-Maija Tailfeathers, Brían F. O'Byrne, Marc Menchaca, Patton Oswalt, Michael Ornstein, Jonathan Koensgen, Jack Doolan, Michiel Huisman, Haig Sutherland and Sarah White.

Kurt Sutter created the drama. He executive produces with Chris Keyser, Robert Askins, Stephen Surjik, Otto Bathurst, Emmy Grinwis and Jon Paré. Sutter Ink produces in association with Netflix.
