AMC is turning Philipp Meyer's best-selling novel "The Son" into a ten-part multigenerational saga, starring Pierce Brosnan as the patriarch of a wealthy Texas family during the early 20th century.
Jacob Lofland, co-star of "Mud" and "Free State of Jones," is playing the teenage version of Brosnan's character, Eli McCullough, as the forthcoming drama will be told through two parallel time periods in Eli's life.
The cast also includes Henry Garrett (Peaky Blinders), Jess Weixler (The Good Wife), Sydney Lucas (She's Funny That Way), Carlos Bardem (Escobar: Paradise Lost), David Wilson Barnes (Hell on Wheels), Zahn McClarnon (Fargo), James Parks (The Hateful Eight), Shane Graham (Into the Badlands), Elliot Villar (Mr. Robot), and Electra Avellan (Machete Kills).
"The Son" is currently scheduled to premiere in 2017. But AMC has released a couple of first-look teasers. Watch them above.
synopsis:
Based on Philipp Meyer's acclaimed novel, the multigenerational epic will follow two concurrent time periods: One, the story of young Eli McCullough after he is kidnapped and indoctrinated into a tribe of Comanches in 1849. The other, 60 years later, when we see a grown Eli struggle to maintain his family's cattle empire during the turbulent Bandit Wars of South Texas.
Actor Pierce Brosnan will play the role of Eli, the charismatic patriarch of the McCullough family who applies the brutal Comanche worldview to his business dealings. Born on the day Texas became an independent Republic, "The First Son of Texas" is a relic of the Wild West, uneasy with the inexorable taming of Texas and the uncertain future of his legacy.
starring Pierce Brosnan, Jacob Lofland, Henry Garrett, Jess Weixler, Sydney Lucas, Carlos Bardem, David Wilson Barnes, Zahn McClarnon, James Parks, Shane Graham, Elliot Villar, Electra Avellan
release date 2017 (on AMC)
