Production  Description: 

Timothy Olyphant is dusting off his cowboy hat (you know the one). Olyphant will reprise his role as Raylan Givens, that smoking gunslinger, in a miniseries spinoff of FX’s crime drama Justified, which ended in 2015. Graham Yost and the creators of the original award-winning series, Elmore Leonard and Fred Golan, will also return.
Following the original series, it will be based on Elmore Leonard’s book City Primeval: High Noon in Detroit. The new limited series will be based on Leonard’s novella Fire in the Hole and other stories featuring Givens. After Givens’s work in Kentucky is completed, the United States Marshal resides in Miami before moving to Detroit and becoming involved with the case of the Oklahoma Wildman.

Speaking of dangerous men, FX announced the addition of eight new actors to the cast of Justified: City Primeval. Boyd Holbrook, Vondie Curtis Hall, Norbert Leo Butz, and Victor Williams have been added to the main cast as new characters alongside Aunjanue Ellis, Adelaide Clemens, Marin Ireland, and Vivian Olyphant. Other Justified actors such as Walton Goggins as Boyd Crowder or Jere Burns as Wynn Duffy have not confirmed if they will return for the revival, while new faces will be joining Olyphant.
