Cast Updates: Who’s Returning for the Final Season?
The gang’s mostly reuniting for this last roundup, bringing back that raw chemistry that made the show pop. Leading the charge:
- Tom Blyth as Billy the Kid (aka William H. Bonney)—the heartthrob outlaw who’s equal parts charm and chaos. Blyth’s been killing it since his Hunger Games prequel days, and this feels like his victory lap.
- Alex Roe as Sheriff Pat Garrett—the old buddy turned bounty-hunting nightmare. Their feud’s the slow-burn fire that scorches everything.
- Daniel Webber as Jesse Evans—Billy’s ride-or-die pal from the wrong side of the law, always stirring up trouble with a smirk.
- Nuria Vega as Dulcinea del Tobosco—Billy’s fiery love interest, the one spark of hope in all that bloodshed. Her story’s got that heartbreaking pull.
- Linus Roache as John Tunstall—might pop in flashbacks, since his murder lit the fuse on the whole mess.
Word is, a few fresh faces could saddle up for cameos or side plots, but nothing’s locked yet. Creator Michael Hirst (the guy behind Vikings) keeps things tight, so expect the core crew to carry the weight.
Plot Details: What’s Next for Billy the Kid?
Season 3 picks up after the explosive events of Season 2, where Billy, with Dulcinea’s help, escaped custody following the Lincoln County War. The final season dives into Billy’s life on the run, grappling with big decisions: flee to Mexico with Dulcinea for a chance at love and freedom, or stay in New Mexico to settle scores and seek justice. The stakes couldn’t be higher, as Sheriff Pat Garrett is hot on his trail, determined to bring him in—dead or alive.
The story will explore Billy’s inner conflict between love, revenge, and survival. Meanwhile, Jesse Evans wrestles with his own guilt and search for purpose, adding tension to their fraught relationship. Expect a mix of historical grit and emotional depth, with a potential final showdown that could seal Billy’s fate. The creators, led by Michael Hirst, have teased a “gripping and emotional” end to the saga, staying true to the real-life events of the American frontier while weaving in dramatic flair.
