The series follows a Wyoming farmer, Royal Abbott (Josh Brolin, Marvel's What If...?), who fights for his land and his family. He discovers a mysterious black void in his pasture after the arrival of a certain Autumn (Imogen Poots, I Know This Much Is True), a drifter with a connection to the Abbotts' ranch. As the Abbott family comes to terms with the disappearance of their daughter-in-law Rebecca (Kristen Connolly, House of Cards (2013)), they are pushed further into the abyss when a rival family, the Tillersons, attempt to take over their land.

Lili Taylor, Tamara Podemski, Lewis Pullman, Tom Pelphrey, Noah Reid, Shaun Sipos, Isabel Arraiza, Olive Abercrombie and Will Patton also star in the Prime Video series. Josh Brolin recently shared that season two will take a different direction than season one. He did not elaborate on what exactly he meant by this. He probably raises this in response to the mixed reception of the first season. A premiere date for Outer Range season two will be announced later.
