Prime Video Schedule Additions: New TV & Movies Arriving November 7-13

November 6, 2022

An exciting Western miniseries is debuting on Prime Video this week.

On Friday, November 11, the streaming service will release The English starring Emily Blunt and Chaske Spencer. Hugo Blick created, executive produced, directed, and wrote the series. Joining Blunt and Spencer are Stephen Rea (The Shadow Line), Valerie Pachner (A Hidden Life), Rafe Spall (The Salisbury Poisonings), Tom Hughes (A Discovery of Witches), as well as Toby Jones (Marvellous), and Ciarán Hinds (The Terror).

“An epic chase Western, the miniseries takes the core themes of identity and revenge to tell a uniquely compelling parable on race, power, and love,” reads the synopsis. “An aristocratic Englishwoman, Lady Cornelia Locke, and a Pawnee ex-cavalry scout, Eli Whipp, come together in 1890 middle America to cross a violent landscape built on dreams and blood. Both of them have a clear sense of their destiny, but neither is aware that it is rooted in a shared past. They must face increasingly terrifying obstacles that will test them to their limits, physically and psychologically. But as each obstacle is overcome, it draws them closer to their ultimate destination — the new town of Hoxem, Wyoming.”

“It is here, after an investigation by the local sheriff Robert Marshall and young widow Martha Myers into a series of bizarre and macabre unsolved murders, that the full extent of their intertwined history will be truly understood, and they will come face-to-face with the future they must live.”

Blunt executive produced The English together with Greg Brenman. Colin Wratten is serving as a producer. The project hails from Wolf Gait Productions Limited.
