Kevin Bacon, Jennifer Nettles team for new album & TV series

Bacon and Nettles star in The Bondsman for Prime Video

Kevin Bacon and Jennifer Nettles star in The Bondsman, premiering on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide on Friday, April 4th.

Bacon stars as Hub Halloran, a murdered bounty hunter, who’s back from the dead after being 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 hindrance of his estranged family (Nettles as wife Maryanne), Hub learns how his own sins got his soul condemned — which pushes him to seek a second chance at life, love, and country music.

The eight episode series also stars 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).

In celebration, the pair will release Hell and Back on April 4th, featuring original songs the wrote specifically for the series while in character. Three of the tracks will be heard within the series.

“I’m excited to announce our new album, Hell and Back, with my incredible friend and costar, Jennifer Nettles!” Bacon shares on social media. “We made this album for our upcoming show #TheBondsman, writing songs together to bring the world of The Bondsman to life through music.
We can’t wait for you all to watch and listen.”
