The Abandons cast: Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson star

I’m really excited about this new series! It’s set way back in 1854 in Washington Territory and centers around the strong women leading two families. One family has money and a long history together, while the other is made up of orphans and people who’ve had to build their own support system. It’s a fascinating contrast, and I think it’s going to be a really compelling story.

Where was The Abandons filmed?

This series follows the intertwined destinies of two families: one wealthy and connected by blood, the other a close-knit group of orphans and outsiders brought together by hardship and affection. Their lives become connected through two shocking crimes, a long-held secret, a forbidden romance, and a valuable piece of land containing silver.
