Amazon Prime Video has unveiled the uncensored trailer for the upcoming horror-action-comedy series titled “The Bondsman“. This series is produced by Blumhouse Television and stars Kevin Bacon as resurrected bounty hunter Hub Halloran, who was killed but brought back to life by the Devil. His mission now is to utilize his skills in tracking down demons that have escaped from Hell and return them to their fiery prison. As he navigates through this supernatural job, Hub must also deal with his estranged family and uncover how his soul ended up in Hell, hoping for a chance at redemption. The entire series of eight episodes will be available exclusively on the streaming platform on April 3, 2025.
In addition to its star, The Bondsman features Jennifer Nettles from The Righteous Gemstones and The Exorcist, Damon Herriman known for Once Upon a Time In Hollywood and Justified, Beth Grant recognized in No Country for Old Men and Donnie Darko, Maxwell Jenkins best known for Arcadian and Lost in Space, and Jolene Purdy who appeared in The White Lotus and Orange is the New Black. Bacon serves as executive producer along with showrunner Erik Oleson, creator Grainger David, and Jason Blum from Blumhouse.
As a passionate cinephile, I can’t help but share my excitement about a fascinating series detail. In the captivating trailer, I come across Midge (Purdy), a local manager for the underworld, tasked with assigning me my demonic missions. She elucidates the reasons behind my resurrection and the potential repercussions should I fail to honor my contracts. Essentially, Midge serves as the devil’s mouthpiece, even though he remains unseen in the series, as per Oleson’s confirmation.
The showrunner explained to Vanity Fair that we opted against showing the devil directly. Instead, it turned out to be quite amusing to let him convey messages via a 1980s fax machine and other outdated methods.
In relation to “The Bondsman“, Oleson explained his inspiration to the media outlet, stating he aimed to offer a fresh perspective on the Devil and demon relationship. He noted that there are numerous depictions of demons in different forms, but none like a show where the devil acts as a prison warden, with escaped prisoners needing to be recaptured and returned to their penitentiary. Typically, one would think that the devil dispatches demons to earth to cause chaos and mischief. However, this concept presents a reversal of that notion.
The trailer you see delivers on expectations for intense demonic sequences, which Kevin Bacon affirmed to Vanity Fair. He described it as being extremely violent with plenty of blood and scary moments, but it also includes some lighthearted elements. It’s often humorous and carries a significant amount of emotion too.
One significant aspect of the series is its use of music. Jennifer Nettles, lead singer of Sugarland, portrays Hub’s musician ex-wife, Maryanne. Being a former performer himself, Kevin Bacon leveraged his real-life musical background (as part of The Bacon Brothers duo with his brother Michael) to enhance the depth of Hub’s character. Bacon revealed that incorporating his musical abilities into the show wasn’t initially his idea, but once they decided Jennifer Nettles was perfect for playing Maryanne, the two collaborated on writing several songs for The Bondsman.
Bacon clarified, “The reason this was significant is that he’s an individual who seemingly abandoned his aspirations. The dream he forsook had a profound impact on his family and his ex-spouse. Therefore, it made perfect sense that they formed a band together. He essentially ignored his musical passion and walked away from it. It’s been years since he played the guitar, and it led to the breakdown of his marriage.
Regarding Hub’s personality, Bacon described him as a person prone to self-destruction, with a cryptic and troubled history that is expected to unfold gradually, offering an enlightening journey for Hub.
Bacon said he thinks that person is in complete denial about how they ended up in Hell. He’s acting like it must be a mistake, or there’s some kind of problem with the system. However, Bacon believes that this person is aware of their situation.
The Bondsman will be released on Prime Video on April 3rd.
