Constantine meets The Evil Dead might be the best way to describe The Bondsman, the new Blumhouse Television series starring Kevin Bacon as a bounty hunter who comes back from the dead to mend his fractured family, rediscover his love of country music, and use his skills to track down demons who have escaped from Hell (all while trying not to get sent back to Hell himself).
A series that is comical, action-packed, heart-wrenching, and one hell of a good time, all eight episodes of The Bondsman will be released on Prime Video beginning April 3rd, and Daily Dead had the pleasure of talking with writer/showrunner Erik Oleson and co-stars Beth Grant, Jolene Purdy, and Maxwell Jenkins about working with Kevin Bacon, exploring the dynamics of a dysfunctional yet loving family, and performing the show's impressive (and emotional) country music songs.
ABOUT THE BONDSMAN:
Kevin Bacon stars as Hub Halloran, a murdered bounty hunter who’s back from the dead after being resurrected by the Devil to trap and send back demons that have escaped from the prison of Hell. By chasing down those demons with the help and hindrance of his estranged family, Hub learns how his own sins got his soul condemned -- which pushes him to seek a second chance at life, love, and country music.
The series also stars Jennifer Nettles (The Righteous Gemstones, The Exorcist), Damon Herriman (Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, Justified), Beth Grant (No Country for Old Men, Donnie Darko), Maxwell Jenkins (Arcadian, Lost in Space), and Jolene Purdy (The White Lotus, Orange is the New Black).
The series comes from Blumhouse Television, Marker 96 and CrimeThink Production Company. Executive producers include Erik Oleson, who also serves as showrunner, Jason Blum, Jeremy Gold, Chris Dickie and Chris McCumber for Blumhouse Television, Kevin Bacon, Paul E. Shapiro and Grainger David, who created the series. Erik Holmberg serves as co-executive producer.
