The English will make its world premiere at BFI London Film Festival as their series special presentation on October 15.

The series is a co-production with Amazon Studios and BBC, in association with All3Media International. Billed as an “epic chase Western”, the show hails from writer and director Hugo Blick.

The series is themed on identity and revenge to tell a uniquely compelling parable on race, power and love. The ensemble cast includes Rafe Spall, Tom Hughes, Toby Jones and Ciaran Hinds.

“An aristocratic Englishwoman, Lady Cornelia Locke (Blunt), and a Pawnee ex-cavalry scout, Eli Whipp (Spencer), come together in middle America in 1890 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,” the plotline reads.

The English is produced by Drama Republic Ltd and Eight Rooks Ltd.
