Rhianne Barreto & Gamba Cole On The New Season Of “The Outlaws,” Stephen Merchant, Christopher Walken & More

The first season of The Outlaws comes from award-winning writer and director Stephen Merchant (The Office) and Elgin James (Mayans M.C., Lowriders). All six episodes of the Amazon Original series will premiere on Prime Video on Friday, April 1, 2022 in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Nordic countries, following a successful series premiere via BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK.

The Outlaws is a comedy thriller series about a disparate group of lawbreakers thrown together to complete a community service sentence. Seven strangers from different walks of life — people who would never normally interact — are forced to work together to renovate a derelict community center. They resent the menial physical labor and they resent each other. But when one of their number gets dragged into a dangerous world of organized crime, they unite in ways none of them thought possible. Set in modern-day Bristol, the series celebrates the city’s distinctive culture and people. The Outlaws stars Rhianne Barreto (Hanna, Dixi) as Rani, Gamba Cole (Hanna, Guerrilla) as Christian, the aforementioned Stephen Merchant as Greg, Christopher Walken (Severance, The Deer Hunter) as Frank, Eleanor Tomlinson (Poldark, The Nevers) as Lady Gabriela, Darren Boyd (Trying, Fortitude) as John, Clare Perkins (The Wheel Of Time, Suspicion) as Myrna, and Jessica Gunning (Back, Fortitude) as Diane.
