‘The Abandons’ Trailer: Gillian Anderson & Lena Headey Face off in Gritty, Violent Western (VIDEO)
Two widowed matriarchs battle to keep their families alive in Netflix’s The Abandons, a new Western drama starring Gillian Anderson and Lena Headey. The X-Files and Game of Thrones alums are bitter rivals who negotiate and fight through gritted teeth in The Abandons trailer, released on Wednesday, November 5, ahead of the show’s December debut on Netflix.
The trailer shows Anderson’s wealthy character, Constance, trying to convince Headey’s Fiona to give her her land. Fiona lives with her found family of misfits, a group she’d never betray by relinquishing their home. Constance and her money interests want that land for her own family, and thus, a family feud is born.
The Abandons was created by Mayans M.C.‘s Kurt Sutter, but he left the show in October 2024. Netflix shared the first photos from the season and revealed the premiere date on Wednesday, October 1, 2025.
The Abandons is set in Washington Territory in 1854. Here’s how Netflix describes the show: “The matriarchs of two very different families — one of wealth and privilege bound by blood, the other a found family of orphans and outcasts bound by love and necessity — find their fates linked by two crimes, an awful secret, a star-crossed love, and a piece of land with silver underneath. The collision echoes the American struggle of the haves and have-nots, in a place just beyond the reach of justice.”

What is The Abandons about?
“This first chapter of The Abandons is a classic American story — the frontier, two families — both at war and in love with each other, a battle over who owns the land and who makes the rules,” executive producer Chris Keyser told Tudum. “Smack in the middle of murder and revenge and a bit of illicit romance, we get to explore questions we never seem to get away from: What makes a family? How do you stay good in a bad world? And would you change who you are and what you believe in to protect what you love? But, in this case, we do it all through the eyes of Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson, as two widowed matriarchs battling to survive. And that, as they say, is really something to watch.”
The series was filmed in Calgary.
When does The Abandons premiere?
The Abandons will get a full-season drop on Thursday, December 4.
How many episodes are in The Abandons?
