“Outer Range” might be a little hard to describe, but no, worry not, this is not “Cowboys & Aliens.” Well, it could be, but don’t worry, this will not be a big, silly mix-and-match genre blockbuster. Created by Brian Watkins for Amazon Prime, instead, the series is a mystery thriller drama about a rancher who uncovers a strange phenomenon in the wilderness of Wyoming. Starring Josh Brolin, this hardnosed rancher isn’t about to let his family fall prey to whatever is out there. Maybe it’s “Yellowstone” with a little bit more genre to it.

Outer Range centers on Royal Abbott (Josh Brolin), a rancher fighting for his land and family, who discovers an unfathomable mystery at the edge of Wyoming’s wilderness. A thrilling fable with hints of wry humor and supernatural mystery, Outer Range examines how we grapple with the unknown. At the onset of the series, the Abbotts are coping with the disappearance of daughter-in-law Rebecca. They are pushed further to the brink when the Tillersons (the gaudy owners of the neighboring profit-driven ranch) make a play for their land. An untimely death in the community sets off a chain of tension-filled events, and seemingly small-town, soil-bound troubles come to a head with the arrival of a mysterious black void in the Abbotts’ west pasture. Wild revelations unfold as Royal fights to protect his family; through his eyes, we begin to see how time contains secrets held in the past and unsettling mysteries foreshadowed.
“Outer Range” debuts on Amazon Prime Video on April 15. You can watch the full official trailer below.
