Pierce Brosnan Returns To Television in AMC's THE SON

For the first time since Remington Steele, Pierce Brosnan is returning to television. Deadline says the actor will be replacing Sam Neill in AMC's new series The Son, which premieres in 2017.

The Son is about a wealthy Texas family and how they shaped America into becoming a superpower in the old West. Brosnan will play Eli, who was kidnapped and raised by Comanche Native Americans as a child and now uses their harsh customs in his business dealings.

Sounds like an AMC show! I read the description and thought "this could either be amazing or incredibly boring." There's never really a middle ground with their shows! Their prior catalog (and Preacher) set the bar pretty high!

I'm excited to hear Pierce Brosnan speak with a Texas accent. I don't even know how that would sound!
