THE STORY
Centuries from now, a feudal society has emerged in the wake of civilization's destruction. This area is now called the Badlands and is uneasily divided among seven rival Barons. Each Baron enforces their iron rule with the aid of loyal armies of trained assassins known as Clippers. The most lethal of the Badlands’ Clippers is Sunny (Daniel Wu), the Regent and most trusted advisor of Baron Quinn (Marton Csokas). For decades, Quinn
has been unchallenged as the Badlands’ most powerful
Baron; however, the territory’s newest Baron, The Widow (Emily Beecham), has begun testing his appetite for a fight.
One day, Sunny rescues M.K. (Aramis
Knight), a teenage boy who
has survived a deadly ambush. Sunny soon comes to understand that the
teen harbours a dark secret and has a 
hefty bounty on his head.
Together, they will embark on an odyssey that could mean the difference
between chaos and enlightenment for everyone in the Badlands.

THE BADLAND'S REGENT
Sunny (Daniel Wu) is Regent (Head Clipper) to the Badlands’ most powerful Baron, Quinn. He is the ideal right-hand man: a prodigiously
skilled, merciless killer with a keen strategic mind, unflappable temperament and deep sense of loyalty.

THE BADLAND'S BARON
Quinn (Marton Csokas) is ruthless, enigmatic, shrewd and charming, the Badlands’ preeminent Baron. A former Clipper, Quinn secured his
position the old-fashioned way: he killed for it, murdering the very Baron who trained him!

THE BADLAND'S BARONESS
Lydia (Orla Brady) is Quinn’s first wife and is both his fiercest critic and most devoted follower. Without her astute counsel, he wouldn’t 
have ascended so far. She makes it abundantly clear that she is still The Fort’s true Baroness and always will be.

THE MYSTERIOUS STRANGER
Saved from mercenary Nomads by Sunny, M.K. (Aramis Knight) is taken to Quinn’s walled compound, The Fort. A seemingly average 
teenage boy, M.K. is anything but. Lurking inside him is a dark energy that is only unleashed when his skin is cut!

THE ARROGANT PRINCE
Ryder (Oliver Stark) is Quinn’s only son and presumed heir. Impulsive and arrogant, Ryder might have become a different person
had he not been kidnapped as a child. Quinn’s refusal to pay the ransom resulted in Ryder’s torture and mutilation.

The Badlands looks like it has a tough cast of characters!
ReplyDeleteit looks very rich and very original, can't wait to see it, hope it does not disappoint!
DeleteWell, that is original. I wonder how it will do?
ReplyDeleteHope it is good and does good too :)
DeleteI thought Sarah Bolger looked familiar, she was Princess Aurora on Once Upon a Time
ReplyDeleteyes, most people know her as Princess Mary from THE TUDORS
DeleteInto the Badlands looks enticing. I'd love to see it. The characters look bada**.
ReplyDeleteand totally original, unlike anything we've seen on the telly
DeleteOoo sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteshould be a visual treat!
DeleteLooks interesting, but is it gonna be like all the other new American shows, which infact are all the same, except set in different times and places?? Here's hoping??
ReplyDeletefingers crossed, Ray, it is being done by the same executive producer who is doing SHANNARA as well! The nice chap gave us a retweet last night
DeleteOkay, other than being a tad bit violent and a tad bit dark...looks good.
ReplyDeleteHave a great evening, Dez dear.
yes, these days everything done in USA has to be uber violent... kinda makes you wonder where is that nation going? I think they're trying to shape their national spirit in the way where it will accept any kind of violence in order to uphold its superiority ... a step towards fascism if you ask me...
DeleteI had no interest in this one until I watched the trailer. Looks really good, and that house with the double staircase? Me wants really bad!
ReplyDeletemethinks the visual aspect of it will be its strongest point! It is so very unusual
DeleteThanks a dear firend :D
ReplyDeleteOh, seems to be very, very interesting :o

glad you think so, Miguel, the costumes in it look to be quite great
DeleteAMC keeps advertising this 10x during TWD. They are also advertising a show called the Preacher. I'm thinking that I'm going to enjoy Christmas themed lifetime movies instead. Lol lame, I know.
ReplyDeleteOh, I've seen about ten beautiful posters for this year's Lifetime's Xmas movies, they're ever so lovely! Some gorgeous people starring in them this year too!
DeleteEep!!!! I'm so excited!!!!! My favorite seasonal past time. :)
DeleteYou can see some of them here: http://www.impawards.com/tv/index.html
DeleteWait...did you say "kung fu dystopia?" For some reason that seems funny to me!
ReplyDeletewell it does seem like a dystopian society and they do a bit of kung fu fighting in it, don't they? :)
DeleteIt does take what is becoming a tired theme and give it a new twist. Introducing Asian culture and sensibility is interesting. And it looks like in the hands of Westerner's those noble values become twisted. I noticed the extensive poppy fields. I suspect someone will be harvesting Opium and using that as a means to gain power and control.
ReplyDeleteyes, dear, you have that in the trailer, the scene with the poppy :) All the big rulers harvest monies from drug trade... as we know it here from our southern separatistic regions
DeleteMake love, not war.
ReplyDeleteI'm in war with myself and in love with noone :(
DeleteNo one? That can't be right.
Deletewell, only with Hiddleston.... but good luck with that love, no?
DeleteI'm afraid so. Man, you're picky! :p
