MGM+ just dropped the official season 2 trailer for its Western romantic adventure series, Billy the Kid, and it looks like war in the Old West.
The show, which quickly became one of MGM+'s flagship series, is set to return to the streamer on October 15.
The official description of the drama reads: "Written by Michael Hirst, this series is an epic romantic adventure based on the life of famous American outlaw Billy the Kid, also known as William H. Bonney — from his humble Irish roots, to his early days as a cowboy and gunslinger in the American frontier, to his pivotal role in the Lincoln County War and beyond."
Season 2 of the epics sees "Billy and his allies square off against his oldest friend Jesse Evans and the corrupt powers of the Santa Fe Ring. When shots are fired, the conflict erupts into the bloody Lincoln County War. Amidst the fighting, Billy will struggle to hang onto his soul—and to the love of his life."
The trailer opens with a question that points to Billy's reputation as a sort of Wild West Robin Hood. "How come groups of rich men get to decide what's right and what's wrong? Who lives and who dies? That's a betrayal of America."
"That's why I'm here," Billy replies.
Creator, writer and executive producer Michael Hirst returns for the second season alongside executive producers Donald De Line (De Line Pictures), Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey (Amblin Television). The series is produced by MGM+ Studios and Amazon Studios: Pan-English Scripted TV, in association with Amblin Television and De Line Pictures. Billy the Kid is internationally distributed by Amazon MGM Studios Distribution.
Billy the Kid stars Tom Blyth (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) as William H. Bonney and Daniel Webber (Escape from Pretoria) as Jesse Evans.
The series is executive produced by Michael Hirst, Donald De Line, Darryl Frank, and Justin Falvey.
