Kevin Bacon is back with a vengeance. Amazon Prime Video has revealed first-look images and announced the release date for Blumhouse Television’s “The Bondsman,” a new eight-episode limited series premiering April 3.
Bacon will play Hub Halloran, a bounty hunter resurrected by the Devil to capture demons who have escaped hell. “By chasing down those demons with the help and hindrance 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,” per the official logline.

The series also stars Jennifer Nettles, Damon Herriman, Beth Grant, Maxwell Jenkins and Jolene Purdy. Variety previously learned Grant will play Kitty, Hub Halloran’s mother, while Herriman will appear as Lucky, described as “the owner of a successful country music club, who is in a relationship with Maryanne (Nettles), Hub’s ex-wife.”
Jenkins will play Cade, the son of Hub and Maryanne. Purdy is set to portray Midge, who is said to be “weary with the understated gravitas of someone who’s learned the hard way how to hold her ground in a male-dominated world. Midge may look unassuming but she’s actually a secret emissary.”
“The Bondsman” is produced by Blumhouse Television, Marker 96 and CrimeThink Production Company, with Erik Oleson executive producing and showrunning. Jason Blum, Jeremy Gold, Chris Dickie and Chris McCumber will produce for Blumhouse Television, with Kevin Bacon, Paul E. Shapiro and creator Grainger David also executive producing. Erik Holmberg will co-executive produce.
Episode directors include Sanaa Hamri, Thor Freudenthal, Lauren Wolkstein and Catriona Mckenzie. The series was first ordered straight-to-series at Prime Video in June of 2023.
