Way back in June 2023, we found out that Kevin Bacon was starring in The Bondsman, a series from Amazon MGM Studios and Blumhouse Television that centers on a country music-loving bondsman who is brought back from the dead to hunt down demons… for the Devil.
Today, we got our first trailer for the show, which features Bacon and a delightful ensemble cast. And while demon hunting can be a serious affair, the clip suggests this is a more playful approach to killing monsters. That doesn’t mean the gore factor is low—we see Bacon kill in various ways, including a chainsaw through the face. Think of it as Supernatural meets the first season of True Blood. And yes, that means I’ll be checking the show out.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Murdered bounty hunter Hub Halloran (Kevin Bacon) is resurrected by the Devil to trap and send back demons that have escaped from the prison of Hell. By chasing down those demons with the help and hinderance of his estranged family, Hub learns how his own sins got his soul condemned—which pushes him to seek a second chance at life, love, and country music.
In addition to Bacon, the series also stars Jennifer Nettles (The Righteous Gemstones, The Exorcist), Damon Herriman (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Justified), Beth Grant (No Country for Old Men, Donnie Darko), Maxwell Jenkins (Arcadian, Lost in Space), and Jolene Purdy (The White Lotus, Orange is the New Black).
All eight episodes of The Bondsman will be available on Prime Video starting April 3, 2025.
Check out the trailer below.
