Eight New Cast Members Join the JUSTIFIED Revival Series at FX
Eight new cast members have joined the Justified revival, titled Justified: City Primeval, that is heading back to FX. The actors include Aunjanue Ellis (King Richard, When They See Us), Boyd Holbrook (Narcos, The Sandman), Adelaide Clemens (The Great Gatsby, Rectify), Vondie Curtis Hall (Harriet, The Night House), Marin Ireland (Y: The Last Man, The Umbrella Academy), Norbert Leo Butz (Bloodline, Fosse/Verdon), Victor Williams (The Good Lord Bird, The King of Queens), and Vivian Olyphant.
They join returning star Timothy Olyphant, who will once again play the role of Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens. “The show picks up with Givens eight years after he left Kentucky behind. He now lives in Miami, a walking anachronism balancing his life as a U.S. Marshal and part-time father of a 15-year-old girl (Vivan Olyphant). His hair is grayer, his hat is dirtier, and the road in front of him is suddenly a lot shorter than the road behind.”
“A chance encounter on a desolate Florida highway sends him to Detroit. There he crosses paths with Clement Mansell (Holbrook), aka The Oklahoma Wildman, a violent, sociopathic desperado who’s already slipped through the fingers of Detroit’s finest once and aims to do so again. Mansell’s lawyer, formidable Motor City native Carolyn Wilder (Ellis), has every intention of representing her client, even as she finds herself caught in between cop and criminal, with her own game afoot as well.”
Dave Andron and Michael Dinner will serve as writers, showrunners, and executive producers on the new series, with Dinner directing. Olyphant will executive produce in addition to starring.
Production is set to begin this week in Chicago. Are you excited for this revival?
