Production has begun on Kurt Sutter’s new project, a Western drama for Netflix by the name of “The Abandons.”
Filming for Season 1 is taking place in Calgary. The upcoming series will be produced under the creator’s SutterInk banner.
“I am fascinated by the metamorphosis of good into evil. What must transpire to drive the morally sound to become the dangerously corrupt,” Sutter said in a statement given to Tudum. “‘The Abandons’ explores those complex compromises through the most powerful human instinct — the love and protection of mothers.”
The drama follows a group of diverse, outlier families as they pursue their Manifest Destiny in 1850s Oregon.
