The Abandons is a new American Western action drama series for Netflix, created by Kurt Sutter (Sons of Anarchy), and set in the lawless Washington Territory in the 1850s. The plot centers on a deadly land dispute between two rival families, featuring a star-studded cast including Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson as opposing matriarchs.
Search interest spiked because the seven-episode first season of The Abandons was officially released for streaming on Netflix on Thursday, December 4, 2025, drawing immediate attention from fans of the Western genre and the show's high-profile cast.
While praised for the strong performances of its lead actors, critics and viewers have offered mixed reviews, with some calling the series an entertaining potboiler. Others have criticized the show's execution, citing thinly drawn characters, uneven storytelling, and what some described as a disappointing, overly simplistic narrative for a show with such potential.
