Not the West you’d expect, said McNamara. TV inside. “Every character is not what it seems on the surface. It has the feel and nostalgia of a Western, but it’s a very modern story with characters going through very cool real things.”
Katie Findlay, who will play comic strip dancer Kate, added that the series is more representative of the landscapes of the time, noting the series’ diversity.
“The boundaries were really very diverse and weird, all sorts of things,” Findlay said. “You can’t often see that because history is written by white men. It’s really nice to be in the cast that is more of a landscape reality at a time when so many people are coming together and struggling to survive.”
