New Show (Reboot) Introduction: Justified: City Primeval

July 14, 2023 by Rueben

The reboot series Justified: City Primeval will premiere its first two episodes on FX at 10 PM on July 18.

Having left the hollers of Kentucky 15 years ago, Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) now lives in Miami, a walking anachronism balancing his life as a U.S. Marshal and part-time father of a 15-year-old girl (played by Olyphant’s own daughter Vivian Olyphant). His hair is grayer, his hat is dirtier, and the road in front of him is suddenly a lot shorter than the road behind. A chance encounter on a desolate Florida highway sends him to Detroit.

There he crosses paths with Clement Mansell (Boyd Holbrook), aka The Oklahoma Wildman, a violent, sociopathic desperado who’s already slipped through the fingers of Detroit’s finest once and aims to do so again. Mansell’s lawyer, formidable Motor City native Carolyn Wilder (Aunjanue Ellis), has every intention of representing her client, even as she finds herself caught in between cop and criminal, with her own game afoot as well.

The cast includes Marin Ireland, Norbert Leo Butz, Vondie Curtis Hall, Ravi Patel and Adelaide Clemens.

Here is a trailer for Justified: City Primeval:
