Will Patton is heading back to the frontier.
The veteran character actor, who played Garrett Randall on Yellowstone, has joined MGM+’s upcoming TV adaptation of The Magnificent Seven, according to a new report from Deadline.
Patton will star opposite Matt Dillon in the series, which is being developed by Heroes creator Tim Kring. Dillon will play legendary gunslinger Chris Adams, the role famously portrayed by Yul Brynner in the original 1960 film.
Patton, meanwhile, will play a new character created for the series: a ruthless land baron named Cyrus T. Clemons.
According to the report, the character is “confident, swaggering and convinced of his own destiny” as he attempts to force a peaceful group of Quakers off their land in the 1880s American frontier.
The full description reads:
Before the Civil War, he was a humble musicteacher. But after surviving the horrific battle of the Bloody Angle, he came out the other side realizing the world is made up of winners and losers, and he was bound and determined to come out on top, no matter the cost. He eventually meets his wife Beatrice and they cross the country. The town of Clemons is meant to be his crowning glory, but to achieve that, he needs the land owned by a peaceful, yet resolute group of Quakers. When they refuse to sell their land to Clemons, and hire the Magnificent Seven to fight back, Clemons is forced to use his private army to drive them from their land. But the further his plans unravel, the more desperate Clemons becomes.
The role marks another major Western project for Patton, who recently appeared in Horizon: An American Saga and was part of a key arc on Yellowstone as the biological father of Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley).
The role marked one of Patton’s most memorable turns. He played Randall, a deeply troubled ex-con whose reappearance unraveled years of buried family secrets. Garrett eventually became one of the show’s most dangerous figures, orchestrating attacks against the Dutton family while manipulating Jamie in a bitter power struggle against John Dutton (Kevin Costner). His tense and ultimately tragic storyline became one of the drama’s darkest arcs.
Long before his recent resurgence in Western dramas, Patton built a decades-long résumé across both television and film. Soap opera fans may remember him from more than 200 episodes of the daytime drama Search for Tomorrow in the 1980s.
He later appeared in blockbuster films including Desperately Seeking Susan opposite Rosanna Arquette, Armageddon alongside Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck, Entrapment with Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Gone in 60 Seconds starring Nicolas Cage and Angelina Jolie.
Patton also starred in Remember the Titans with Denzel Washington and The Mothman Prophecies starring Richard Gere and Laura Linney.
On television, Patton had major roles on The Agency with Beau Bridges, as well as the sci-fi drama Falling Skies opposite Noah Wyle.
MGM+’s new The Magnificent Seven series does not yet have a premiere date.
