In a promising sign, The Bondsman made it to the Nielsen Top 10 streaming chart in its premiere week, ranking #9 on the Originals chart with 563 million minutes watched.
By its second week, The Bondsman had already dropped out of the Nielsen ranks. The series still holds a spot on Prime Video’s Top 10 list, currently at #5 in the U.S. The series also scored highly with critics and viewers, averaging an 83% on Rotten Tomatoes, but failed to generate traction on social media.
In The Bondsman , murdered bounty hunter Hub Halloran (Bacon) is resurrected by the devil to capture and return demons who have escaped from the prison of hell. By pursuing these demons with the help and opposition of his estranged family, Hub learns how his own sins have condemned his soul—leading him to seek a second chance at life, love, and country music.
Executive producers included Oleson, who also served as showrunner, Jason Blum, Jeremy Gold, Chris Dickie and Chris McCumber for Blumhouse Television, Bacon, Paul E. Shapiro and Grainger David, who created the series. Erik Holmberg served as co-executive producer.
