New Netflix series The Abandons comes from Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter, and it sees an all-star cast bringing a brand-new Western story to life.
Set in Washington Territory in 1854, the series follows the matriarchs of two very different families — one wealthy and bound by blood, the other a found family of orphans and outcasts.
As the two families find their fates linked by crimes, secrets and star-crossed love, an epic collision takes place.
The two matriarchs are played by Game of Thrones star Lena Headey and Sex Education's Gillian Anderson. But who else stars in the series and who do they all play?
