This week, Prime Video is set to unleash a devilishly entertaining new action supernatural series, with Kevin Bacon caught in a deal straight from the fiery depths. “The Bondsman” brings together horror, action, comedy and a healthy dose of star power, with Bacon playing Hub Halloran, a bounty hunter who meets an untimely death only to be brought back from the dead by the Devil himself. His mission? Capture demons who’ve escaped Hell and bring them back to where they belong.
Created by Grainger David, the series explores more than just Hell’s escapees, though. Hub’s resurrection reveals the sins that condemned his soul in the first place, sending him on a quest for redemption—not just for his afterlife, but also for his chance at life, love, and, perhaps surprisingly, country music. With its blend of horror hijinks, pointed poignancy, brutal action, and dark comedy, we’re convinced the series will become a standout entry in the crowded supernatural genre.
Joining Bacon in this wild demon-hunting season is a star-studded cast: Beth Grant (No Country for Old Men, Donnie Darko), Maxwell Jenkins (Arcadian, “Lost in Space”), Jolene Purdy (“The White Lotus,” “Orange Is the New Black”), Jennifer Nettles (“The Righteous Gemstones,” The Exorcist: Believer), and Damon Herriman (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Square). Together, they bring a compelling mix of talent and energy to this delightfully diabolical adventure.
With all eight-episodes of the debut season of “The Bondsman” premiering this Thursday, April 3rd, on Prime Video, CinemaChords caught up with regular cast members Beth Grant and Jolene Purdy who commented on blending non-stop horror-action comedy with heartfelt poignancy and helping and guiding Kevin Bacon’s Hub Halloran navigate a job that’s hotter than Hell’s kitchen, and twice as demanding.
