Josh Brolin as Royal Abbott and Lili Taylor Cecilia Abbott in Outer Range Season 2.
The Big Picture With the rate that shows are cancelled these days, it's probably not surprising that a cerebral neo-Western like Outer Rangewas given the ax by Amazon after its second season, but it doesn't hurt any less. The intense Prime Video drama built an increasingly complicated mythology surrounding Josh Brolin's Royal Abbott, a Wyoming-based rancher who has a dark secret of his own, and Season 2 only further expanded that black hole at the center of it.
Sure, you could compare elements of Outer Range to other shows that already exist. It's modern west setting echoes the likes of Paramount's Yellowstone, and its black dust feels like something out of Lost, but the Prime Video series is so far removed from either of those productions that the comparisons hardly matter.
The way that Outer Range crosses seamlessly between the modern West and the Wild West is nothing short of an achievement. The series triumphantly honors the Western's roots in American history while maintaining a steady hand in the present. While similar shows such as Yellowstone do this same thing through the use of flashbacks to a bygone era, Outer Range successfully reinvents the wheel by sending its main characters forward and backward through time.
