Kevin Bacon to Play Undead Bounty Hunter in Prime Video Series ‘The Bondsman’ From Blumhouse TV
variety.comJoe Otterson TV Reporter Kevin Bacon is attached to star in a new Blumhouse Television series that has been ordered straight-to-series at Amazon’s Prime Video, Variety has learned.
The action series is titled “The Bondsman.” The official logline states that it centers on Hub Halloran (Bacon), “a backwoods bounty hunter who comes back from the dead with an unexpected second chance at life, love, and a nearly-forgotten musical career — only to find that his old job now has a demonic new twist.” Amazon has ordered eight half-hour episodes.
Production on the series will not begin until all guild negotiations have been resolved. The show stems from an original idea and script by Grainger David, who will also executive produce.
Erik Oleson will serve as showrunner and executive producer via CrimeThink. Jason Blum, Chris McCumber, Jeremy Gold, and Chris Dickie for Blumhouse TV also executive produce, as does Paul Shapiro from CrimeThink.
