Emily Blunt will star alongside Chaske Spencer in award-winning director Hugo Blick's new western for the BBC, with filming already underway in Spain.
Written and directed by 56-year-old Blick – who also wrote Amazon's spy thriller The Honourable Woman – the epic series is set in the mythic mid-American landscape in the year of 1890.
The plot follows Englishwoman Cornelia Locke (played by Blunt, 38) who arrives into the new and wild landscape of the West –which is where she meets an ex-cavalry scout Eli Whipp (played by Spencer, 46) - to wreak revenge on the man she sees as responsible for the death of her son.
