Lonesome Dove is returning to the small screen. After the success of its adaptation of Little House on the Prairie, Netflix is going back to the Old West for another series. This time, they are bringing the Larry McMurtry novel to the streaming service. The novel was last adapted for the screen in 1989 for a CBS miniseries starring Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones.
Netflix shared the following about the series:
“Gus McCrae and Woodrow Call renew their spirit of adventure as they face an uncertain future, embarking on one final, perilous cattle drive from the Rio Grande to the untamed wilderness of Montana in pursuit of a dream that they have perhaps already outlived. These two former Texas Rangers lead an unforgettable cast of characters across the American west in this sweeping odyssey defined by unrequited longing, unbreakable friendship, brutal frontier justice, and an unwavering pursuit of a meaningful life. Based on the beloved novel, the first in the Lonesome Dove series.”
Co-showrunners Zoe Kazan and Jeb Stuart spoke about the series. They said, “After our singular experience on East of Eden, we are thrilled to be teaming with Netflix again, along with Teton Ridge Entertainment, to bring Larry McMurtry’s western classic to life. We come to this material with love and respect, and can’t wait to hit the trail with Gus and Call and the rest of these beloved characters. Yee-haw.”
Netflix will announce a premiere date and additional details later.
