Emily Blunt is bloody good in trailer for new Western, The English

The (aptly titled) new series The English stars Emily Blunt (A Quiet Place) as Lady Cornelia Locke, an “aristocratic Englishwoman” who teams up with Eli Whipp (Chaske Spencer, Wild Indian) to “cross a violent landscape built on dreams and blood,” according to the show’s official synopsis. And by god, does this trailer deliver on that promise. Have you ever seen a tasseled clown gleefully chop a rattlesnake in half before? How about what appears to be an upside-down crucifixion? It’s all here in Black Earth Rising director Hugo Blick’s fast-paced, highly-saturated vision of the dusty plain.

Cornelia and Eli find themselves bound by destiny in the beginning of the trailer. “You were tied up there, I was lying down there, both about to get killed, and yet here we are,” explains Cornelia, before adding, “and it’s everyone else that’s dead.”

This is a good tone-setter for the revenge journey these two are about to undergo, during which they will begin to unravel the full weight of a previously unknown shared history. Oh, and kill a whole lot of people. By gun, by bow and arrow, by rope dragged behind a covered wagon or some other outlandish method yet to be revealed—you name it, it’ll likely happen at some point in this series. We’re truly in the Wild Wild West with this one, baby!

All six episodes of The English will premiere November 11 on Prime Video.
