The series is executive-produced by Robert Redford, Stephen David and Laura Michalchyshyn with Sundance Productions and is slated to begin airing eight episodes on AMC on June 11, 2016.[1][2][3]
Overview
Following the American Civil War, the United States begins developing into the "land of opportunity," despite the danger from cowboys, Native Americans, outlaws and lawmen. The series will chronicle the stories of Western legends, such as Jesse James, Billy the Kid, Wyatt Earp, Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull.[1][2][3]
Production
Produced and distributed by Sundance Productions, the series will feature exclusive interviews with notable names from classic Western films, including Robert Redford, James Caan, Burt Reynolds, Tom Selleck, Kiefer Sutherland, Mark Harmon, Ed Harris and others.[2][3]
The series was to be initially aired on Discovery Channel,[4] but was changed to AMC and retooled in 2014. Production on the series began in August 2015, following AMC's ordering it straight to series.[1]
