'Epic' Western perfect for Yellowstone fans returns as trailer and release date announced

MGM+ has just released a new trailer and images, as well as an official premiere date, for the finale of a Western series set at the end of the Lincoln County War. Yellowstone fans have been urged to watch the series, which stars Tom Blyth in the lead role.

The series in question is Billy the Kid, and in season three, Billy (Blyth) is still at large and Sheriff Pat Garrett (Alex Roe) makes it his mission to capture him.

Billy the Kid season three, which consists of eight episodes, premieres on September 28 on MGM+ in the UK, with the entire first season available to stream for free from August 29. The show is from Vikings creator Michael Hirst and new episodes will be released weekly up until the finale on November 23.

The synopsis continues: "With a bounty on his head, Billy has the opportunity to quit New Mexico altogether and pursue a future with Dulcinea (Nuria Vega), the love of his life.

"But he has unfinished business with Garrett, who has betrayed him, and decides to stay.

"Meanwhile Jesse Evans, Billy’s longtime friend, rival, and enemy, also remains in Lincoln, searching for a newfound purpose and perhaps atonement for his sins.

"As the saga comes to a close, Billy will fight like hell to try to finally find the justice that has long eluded him, even if it means he’ll die trying."

The trailer shows Billy declaring he "ain't being taken alive" as he vows to make a stand against Garrett and those who oppose him.

Fans took to IMDb to share their thoughts on the first two seasons, with supermanfan-13 saying it "hooked me from the start".

They added: "Tom Blyth does a really good job here as Billy. Daniel Weber also does a great job as Jesse Evans. The way they show their close friendship and how they ended up on different sides is worth watching.

"The first season is mostly an origin story of how William H. Bonney became the outlaw Billy the kid. The second season is so full of action and story it's hard to stop watching."

Reggiemiller-59077 shared: "This show is phenomenal! It is extremely well written and extremely well acted. I am blown away by the show.

"I rank it up there with 1921 and Yellowstone. It's that good! It might even be better in its own right."

Billy the Kid season 3 airs on MGM+ on September 28
