Timothy Olyphant has brought his cowboy hat to the mean streets of Detroit as deputy U.S. Marshall Raylan Givens to cross paths with a violent, sociopathic killer 15 years after he left the hollers of Kentucky in FX’s original Justified drama, as revealed in the official trailer for FX’s Justified: City Primeval, which dropped Wednesday.
The series revival, based Elmore Leonard’s novel City Primeval: High Noon in Detroit, has Givens on a collision course with Clement Mansell — aka The Oklahoma Wildman — a desperado played by Boyd Holbrook, who’s already eluded a Motor City police task force.
“I see you near my daughter again, I’ll kill you,” Givens tells Mansell at one point in the trailer after seeing him with his daughter, Willa Givens, played by Vivian Olyphant.
“Not if I see you first,” Mansell responds with his own taunt as he licks his wounds after a beat-down.

Production of FX’s Justified: City Primeval was interrupted again Monday by a violent incident from outside the show’s set.
The series was filming in Chicago’s South Loop area Monday night when someone threw what police described as an “incendiary device” toward the set. The device didn’t explode, according to a report from Wls-tv, and no one was hurt. Police are investigating the incident, but no arrests have been made as of publication time.
The Monday incident happened three weeks after two vehicles carrying people shooting at one another crashed through barricades on the Justified set as it filmed on the city’s West Side. No cast or crew members were hurt in that incident either, but filming paused for several days.
“We took a break and made sure everyone was ok,” FX chairman John Landgraf told reporters last week.

Blood & Treasure Season 2 will finally see the light of day.
As previously reported, Paramount+ will air the long-delayed second season, beginning Sunday, July 17th with two episodes.
Subsequent episodes will drop weekly on Sundays.
The decision means that viewers who watched on CBS will no longer be able to keep up to speed unless they watch on the streaming service.
The move to streaming worked for both Seal Team and Evil, with both shows scoring renewals following their launch on the streaming service.
It's unclear whether the long wait between seasons will affect the negotiations for a third season.
It's hard to believe any of the cast is still under contract, so it might be difficult to get everyone back together.

Quentin Tarantino’s next project may not be his final film, but rather a move into TV.
Deadline has reported that the auteur is currently in talks to direct “one or two episodes” of FX’s upcoming limited series “Justified: City Primeval,” with Timothy Olyphant reprising his role as U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens.
IndieWire has reached out to FX for comment.
Tarantino’s attachment to the “Justified” revival seven years after the series wrapped would reunite the “Kill Bill” director with his “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” performer, as well as author Elmore Leonard. Tarantino’s 1997 film “Jackie Brown” is based on Leonard’s novel “Rum Punch,” and Tarantino has also previously optioned several Leonard titles, including the western “Forty Lashes Less One.”
“Justified: City Primeval” uses Leonard’s 1980 novel “City Primeval: High Noon in Detroit” as source material, centering the story on Leonard’s Givens character.

A revival of “Justified” has been ordered to series at FX, with Timothy Olyphant set to reprise the role of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens.
Variety exclusively reported that the project was in the works in March 2021. The new iteration of the drama series is inspired by the Elmore Leonard novel “City Primeval: High Noon in Detroit.” Leonard created the character of Givens, who appeared in several of the author’s novels and the novella “Fire in the Hole,” the latter of which served as the basis for “Justified.”
Officially titled “Justified: City Primeval,” the new show picks up with Givens eight years after he left Kentucky behind. He now lives in Miami, a walking anachronism balancing his life as a U.S. Marshal and part-time father of a 14-year-old girl. His hair is grayer, his hat is dirtier, and the road in front of him is suddenly a lot shorter than the road behind.

Fox announced that lawyer, journalist and former “The View” co-host Star Jones has been appointed judge of the first-run syndicated series “Divorce Court,” starting in September.
As television’s longest running court show, “Divorce Court” dates back to the late 1950’s, when actors used to reenact actual divorce proceedings. Today, the program features real people and real cases — ranging from divorce court proceedings to other domestic disputes.
Judge Faith Jenkins will continue through the end of Season 23 and Jones will join for Season 24. Jones, a former assistant district attorney in New York and former legal correspondent on NBC’s “Today Show,” “Nightly News” and more, said that she will “offer the parties before ‘Divorce Court,’ as well as viewers, a no-nonsense approach to the law and a decision driven by my proven legal expertise, compassion and empathy, personal experiences and hard-earned common sense.”

When executives at CBS Studios decided to dust off the not-too-distant IP of “The 4400,” a four-season drama about a group of people who were plucked from different places and time periods and returned at once, it was good news for Ariana Jackson.
Jackson wasn’t the first producer to tackle such a project — a previous attempt at a reboot was made in 2018 by Taylor Elmore and Craig Sweeny. But as a fan, she knew the intricacies of the original series, which premiered in 2004 on USA Network. Jackson teamed with Anna Fricke, who previously successfully rebooted “Walker, Texas Ranger,” to propel her version forward.
The CW ordered “4400” straight to series in February. It bows Oct. 25, with Sunil Nayar joining Jackson to serve as co-showrunner.
They key to cracking their version of the story, Jackson tells Variety, was not to worry about whether the original already tackled a particular piece of story.

After six successful seasons on FX, the “Justified” gang is getting back together.
Variety reports that the creative team behind “Justified” is developing a new series based on the Elmore Leonard novel “City Primeval: High Noon in Detroit,” with a possibility that Timothy Olyphant will reprise his Emmy-nominated role as lawman Raylan Givens. The new series is being executive produced by “Justified” creator Graham Yost, with “Justified” writers and executive producers Michael Dinner and Dave Andron set to co-write, executive produce, and serve as co-showrunners. Dinner is also onboard to direct.
As the project is still in the early stages of development, there is currently no deal in place for Olyphant’s involvement. If he were to sign on, it is unclear whether he would return in a supporting or leading capacity.
“Justified” centered on Olyphant’s Raylan Givens, who appeared in several of Leonard’s novels as well as...

FX is developing a new series from the “Justified” team to be based on another Elmore Leonard novel, “City Primeval,” with Timothy Olyphant potentially returning as Raylan Givens, an individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap.
The project is in the early stages of development. “Justified” creator Graham Yost will serve as executive producer, with writers and executive producers Michael Dinner and Dave Andron tapped to co-write, executive produce and serve as co-showrunners.
Olyphant played Givens in “Justified,” which was based on Leonard’s novels centered around the character, primarily “Fire in the Hole.” The series ran for six seasons from 2010 to 2015. Givens does not appear in Leonard’s “City Primeval,” which was first published in 1980. Olyphant could also appear in the series as another character instead of Givens.
“City Primeval” follows a killer named Clement Mansell, otherwise known as the “Oklahoma Wildman,” and the Detroit homicide detective, Raymond Cruz,...

Last week, the first episode of the brand-new adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand premiered on CBS All Access, and to mark the occasion, Daily Dead had the opportunity to speak with one of the series’ co-creators, Benjamin Cavell. During our interview, Cavell discussed the decision to restructure the storytelling approach for this new nine-episode limited series event, and the challenges that came with taking on The Stand in the first place. Cavell also chatted about the involvement of Whoopi Goldberg for this iteration of The Stand, and why it was necessary to update not only her character, Mother Abagail, but also Tom Cullen as well, for modern audiences.
New episodes of The Stand (2020) debut every Thursday, exclusively on CBS All Access.

The creative team behind CBS All Access’ adaptation of The Stand knows you might be wary of watching a show centered on a deadly virus. The miniseries’ premiere, after all, drops familiar words like “quarantine” and “tested positive,” and there’s a whole lotta coughing — all of which we’ve seen and heard quite often during the real-life coronavirus pandemic.
But for those unfamiliar with the Stephen King novel on which The Stand is based, executive producers Benjamin Cavell and Taylor Elmore can assure you the show is more than just an eerie mirror of our current world. In fact,...

At 2020’s virtual New York Comic Con, CBS All Access held a panel for its upcoming nine-episode limited series “The Stand,” which is based on the Stephen King novel. It premieres on Thursday, December 17, with new episodes going up every week on the streaming platform. During that panel, they also unveiled the trailer for the star-studded television event. Watch that trailer above, and scroll down to see the panel discussion with actors Whoopi Goldberg, James Marsden, Greg Kinnear, Odessa Young, Jovan Adepo, Amber Heard and Owen Teague, along with executive producers Benjamin Cavell and Taylor Elmore.
“The Stand” is an apocalyptic story starring Goldberg as Mother Abigail, a 108-year-old woman who must save mankind along with a few other survivors of a global plague — which, if nothing else, is a timely theme. Alexander Skarsgard plays Randall Flagg aka the Dark Man, who has supernatural powers and is the embodiment of the survivors’ worst nightmares.

We’re just over two months away from the Dec.17 premiere of The Stand miniseries on CBS All Access, and a full-length trailer has surfaced at last following a brief teaser last month.
The trailer dropped this morning at the end of a 30-minute digital Nycc panel. The Josh Boone-helmed, nine-part series looks — from the scenes we saw — pretty damn faithful to Stephen King’s epic novel, which was originally published in 1978 and filmed once before as a four-part ABC miniseries back in 1994. Take a look:
The book begins with the escape of a biological weapon — a virulent form of plague — from a government lab and its destructive path across the United States and the world. With most of humanity wiped out, two distinct sides form in what’s left of the US: a group of righteous, basically decent folks who gather in Boulder, Colorado around a mystical old...

The official trailer for the CBS All access adaptation of Stephen King's The Stand is here!
We can't have in-person Comic Cons, but we can still have nice things.
And on December 17, we'll get to see why Randall Flagg was such a good manipulator.
Ok. I'm going to say it. A hot Randall Flagg makes a lot of sense.
When reading the book, I always imagined Flagg as hideous and scarred. I can't remember the true description, but that was my takeaway.
But it makes a lot more sense for the evil bastard to be the personification of Alexander Skarsgård because it would be easier for a good looking man, no matter how evil, to get attention before revealing his true colors to his followers.

What does life after a weaponized virus decimates the majority of the population look like for the two factions of survivors attempting to go on, amid being on warring sides of good and evil? CBS All Access offers a glimpse in a new trailer for its upcoming nine-episode limited series adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Stand,” released Friday at New York Comic Con.
“The world is now a blank page, make your stand,” Whoopi Goldberg’s Mother Abagail says in the new trailer, which you can watch above.
Some roads are empty, while others are littered with abandoned cars, and one very important one leads to the Boulder Free Zone, where those who Mother Abagail called to came running to rebuild society. “All I know is we dreamed of her and she was real,” James Marsden’s Stu Redman says.

CBS All Access released the first full-length trailer for the upcoming limited series adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Stand” during a New York Comic-Con panel to promote the show on Thursday.
The trailer introduces Whoopi Goldberg as Mother Abagail, a 108-year old prophet who receives visions from God and guides survivors of a plague that has decimated the world’s population, and Alexander Skarsgard as “The Dark Man,” a shadowy figure with supernatural abilities who attempts to construct a totalitarian civilization amid the destruction.
James Marsden, Amber Heard, Jovan Adepo, Owen Teague, Brad William Henke, Odessa Young and Henry Zaga also star in the nine-episode series, which is set to premiere on the streaming platform on Dec. 17.
“The Stand,” first published in 1978, is King’s longest standalone work and the first to introduce the character of Randall Flagg, who would go on to appear in much of King’s other work.

CBS All Access has released the first teaser for its upcoming adaptation of “The Stand.”
The short teaser, clocking in at just 30 seconds, aired during Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Awards. It briefly shows Whoopi Goldberg as Mother Abagail, introducing herself to Frannie Goldsmith (Odessa Young) in a cornfield and beckoning her, “you come see me at Hemingfoot Home.” From there, it goes on to display eerie deserted streets, distressing hospital moments and even a little bit of levitation.
“The Stand” is based on Stephen King’s 1978 novel of the same name and follows a battle between good and evil among the survivors of a plague. The main characters in the apocalyptic story are primarily split into two camps: those who follow the 108-year-old Mother Abagail, and those who align with Randall Flagg, the Dark Man.

Initially released in 1978 (followed by that mammoth uncut edition in 1990), Stephen King's The Stand is as timely now as it was over 40 years ago, and this holiday season Captain Trips will be unleashed once again when a new limited series adaptation of The Stand premieres on CBS All Access on Thursday, December 17th.
Following its premiere on the streaming service, CBS All Access will release a new episode of The Stand limited series every Thursday for the duration of its nine-episode run. As previously announced, the new series will feature a new final coda written by Stephen King that is different than the conclusion of the book.
This upcoming event series marks the second adaptation of The Stand, following the four-part 1994 miniseries that was directed by Mick Garris and written by Stephen King.
