Prime Video Comedy 'The Outlaws' to Premiere This April
Prime Video has set the official U.S. airdate for The Outlaws, a comedy about a disparate group of criminals thrown together while competing a community service assignment. (Think Misfits, but without the whole addition suddenly they all get superpowers thing.)
Set in Bristol, the six-episode first season follows the titular septet as they are forced to renovate a derelict community center, an activity ordered by the court as part of their custodial sentences for various crimes they committed that run the gamut from everything from forging checks to soliciting sex.
Were it not for getting caught for their law-breaking, these folks probably would never have met, yet here they are---70-something conman and womanizer Frank (Christopher Walken); recently-divorced and inept corporate lawyer Greg (Stephen Merchant); scholarship student and kleptomaniac Rani (Rhianne Barreto); socialite social media influencer and substance abuser Lady Gabriella “Gabby” Penrose-Howe (Eleanor Tomlinson); right-wing blowhard and failing businessman John (Darren Boyd); civil rights veteran and radical activist Myrna (Clare Perkins); and Christian (Gamba Cole), the sole carer for his young sister and a young man in debt to a criminal gang.
