Love a good Western? Lionsgate Play has you covered.
‘Django’
This modern reimagining of the classic spaghetti Western tells the story of a haunted gunslinger on a quest for revenge and redemption. Set in late 1800s Texas, the series follows a wanted man named Django (Matthias Schoenaerts), who arrives in New Babylon, a sanctuary for outcasts founded by John Ellis.
‘Hell on the Border’
Based on real events in the late 1800s, “Hell on the Border” tells the story of Bass Reeves, a former slave who embarks on a daring quest to capture a notorious outlaw and earn the title of the first black US Marshal in the Wild West. It stars David Gyasi as Reeves, as well as Ron Perlman and Frank Grillo.
‘Two Sinners and a Mule’
After free-spirited women Alice (Chantelle Albers) and Nora (Hannah James) are expelled from their small Western town for sinful behavior, they set out for Virginia City with dreams of opening a restaurant. On their journey, they encounter Elden (Cam Gigandet), an injured bounty hunter, and decide to help him in hopes of sharing his bounty.
‘The Desperate Riders’
In “Desperate Riders,” Kansas Red (Drew Waters), a solitary figure, rescues young Billy (Sam Ashby) from a card-game shootout, only to be asked for help in saving Billy’s mother, Carol (Victoria Pratt), from ruthless outlaw Thorn. As they set off on their mission, they meet Leslie (Vanessa Evigan), a skilled sharpshooter who has escaped Thorn’s men. As they nurse him back to health and develop feelings for him, their target, Grimes (Cord Newman), begins to pursue them, turning the hunters into the hunted.
