Red Dead Redemption (TV series)

Red Dead Redemption is an upcoming television series created by Cooper Brandis for the streaming service HOOT. It is based on the video game franchise of the same name published by Rockstar Games. Though titled the same, the story is set in 1893, six years before the setting of Red Dead Redemption 2, and will feature predominantly original characters, but is still apparently in continuity with the video game series. The series is produced by HOOT Pictures in cooperation with TinyTiger Productions, and Rockstar Studios, with Brandis serving as the showrunner.

The TinyTiger Company bought the television rights for Red Dead Redemption in November 2019, making a three season commitment worth at least US$500 million. This would make it one of the most expensive television series ever made. Dan Houser was hired as a writing consultant for the series in July 2020, with the rest of the creative team confirmed a year later. Casting took place in late 2020, with Hugh Jackman leading a large ensemble cast featuring Tom Hardy, Cooper Brandis, Lauren Cohan, David Harbour, Winston Duke, Willem Dafoe, Jackson Robert Scott, Pedro Pascal, Raul Esparza, Eliza Taylor, Aaron Paul, Lakeith Stanfield, Christoph Waltz, Gemma Arterton, Woody Harrelson, Rose Leslie, Nick Offerman, William H. Macy, Margot Robbie, Domhnall Gleeson, Helena Bonham Carter, Letitia Wright, and Mark Hamill.

Filming is set begin in November 2021, after production was delayed from the original date of July 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The first sixteen episode season is expected to premiere on HOOT in late 2022 or early 2023. A second season was formally ordered in November 2020.
