Plot Synopsis

Written and directed by Hugo Blick, THE ENGLISH is a six-episode western drama series that tells the story of an aristocratic Englishwoman, Lady Cornelia Locke, and a Pawnee ex-cavalry scout, Eli Whipp, who come together in 1890 middle America to cross a violent landscape built on dreams and blood. Both of them have a clear sense of their destiny, but neither is aware that it is rooted in a shared past. They must face increasingly terrifying obstacles that test them to their limits, physically and psychologically. But as each obstacle is overcome, it draws them closer to their ultimate destination -- the new town of Hoxem, Wyoming. It is here, after an investigation by the local sheriff Robert Marshall and young widow Martha Myers into a series of bizarre and macabre unsolved murders, that the full extent of their intertwined history will be truly understood, and they will come face-to-face with the future they must live. THE ENGLISH made its U.S. debut on Friday, November 11, 2022 on Prime Video, as the streaming service released all six episodes the day after the series made its debut on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer in the UK.
