Netflix revealed the following about American Primeval:

This is America… 1857. Up is down, pain is everywhere, innocence and tranquility are losing the battle to hatred and fear.

Peace is the shrinking minority, and very few possess grace – even fewer know compassion. There is no safe haven in these brutal lands, and only one goal matters: survival.

AMERICAN PRIMEVAL is a fictionalized dramatization and examination of the violent collision of culture, religion, and community as men and women fight and die to keep or control this land.

The series arrives on January 9th. Check out more photos for the series below.
