Stan today announced that the Western adventure series Billy the Kid has been renewed for a third and final season, starring Tom Blyth (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) and Australian actor Daniel Webber (Escape from Pretoria) as outlaws on the American frontier.
Creator, writer, and executive producer Michael Hirst (Vikings, The Tudors, Elizabeth) will return for the third season alongside executive producers Donald De Line (De Line Pictures), Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey (Amblin Television).
Creator, writer and executive producer Michael Hirst said:
“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to write the third and final season of Billy the Kid and bring this compelling saga to a close.”
“Billy was famous for many things, not least his ability to escape from seemingly impossible situations. But now, as the Most Wanted Man in America, the odds are truly stacked against him.”
The Lincoln County War may be officially over, but both Billy the Kid and Sheriff Pat Garrett have important issues to resolve — there is a reckoning to come. Billy is still at large, and Garrett is out to capture him, dead or alive.
And with a bounty on his head, Billy has the opportunity to quit New Mexico altogether and pursue a future with Dulcinea, the love of his life. But he has unfinished business with Garrett, who has betrayed him, and decides to stay.
Meanwhile Jesse Evans, Billy’s longtime friend, rival, and enemy, also remains in Lincoln, searching for a newfound purpose and perhaps atonement for his sins. Billy will fight like hell to try to finally find the justice that has long eluded him, even if it means he’ll die trying.
The series is produced by Amazon MGM Studios, in association with Amblin Television and De Line Pictures. Billy the Kid is internationally distributed by Amazon MGM Studios Distribution.
