“This is America…1857. Up is down, pain is everywhere, innocence and tranquility are losing the battle to hatred and fear,” reads the synopsis. “Peace is the shrinking minority, and very few possess grace — even fewer know compassion. There is no safe haven in these brutal lands, and only one goal matters: survival. AMERICAN PRIMEVAL is a fictionalized dramatization and examination of the violent collision of culture, religion, and community as men and women fight and die to keep or control this land.”
The series is created and directed by Friday Night Lights’ Pete Berg from a screenplay written by The Revenant’s Mark L. Smith. It is executive produced by Berg for Film 44, Eric Newman for Grand Electric, and Mark L. Smith. The streamer has also enlisted Julie O’Keefe as the show’s Indigenous Cultural Consultant and Project Advisor.
