Teaser Trailer for Timothy Olyphant's New FX Series JUSTIFIED: CITY PRIMEVAL
The Justified series is being revived at FX with a new series titled Justified: City Primeval and today, the first teaser trailer has been released! It features the return of Timothy Olyphant as the grizzled U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, in the big city.
The footage doesn’t offer much on the story that the series will tell, but it’s exciting to see Olyphant back in this role! I’m a huge fan of the original series, so of course, I’m excited about this new series!
The next chapter of the story 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 (Boyd 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 (Aunjanue 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.”
The rest of the cast includes 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.
Dave Andron and Michael Dinner will serve as writers, showrunners, and executive producers on the new series, with Dinner also directing. Olyphant will also executive produce alongside Justified creator Graham Yost.
The series is set to premiere on FX on July 18, 2023.
