'Justified: City Primeval': A Cast and Character Guide For the 'Justified' Spin-Off

See who's starring opposite Raylan Givens in the new limited series.

Those who love modern Westerns should be jumping for joy at the news of the Justified reboot series, Justified: City Primeval. For those not in the know, Justified was an award-winning FX show that ran for six seasons from 2010-2015. The show's storyline was based on Elmore Leonard's story, Fire In The Hole. The story centered around U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant), who was reassigned from Miami to his hometown in Eastern Kentucky. His father was a well-known criminal in the town, and Givens has spent his life trying to separate himself from his tumultuous upbringing. His unique style of justice, that's technically "justified" often puts him at odds with the criminals he pursues.

After 7 years off the air, Justified: City Primeval will return as Givens for a limited series on FX. The show's original creator, Graham Yost is back, along with Timothy Olyphant, reprising his role as Marshal Givens. The reboot is based on another Elmore novel, City Primeval: High Noon in Detroit. This time we follow Givens, his 14-year-old daughter, and their life in Miami after leaving his hometown in Kentucky behind. After a chance encounter on the road in Miami, he winds up in Detroit. While there, he is called to help pursue a violent sociopath who has once again slipped through the cracks of the system. 

Along with bringing back some of the original actors, we also have Dave Andron and Michael Dinner, the showrunners, and writers. While there were rumors that Quentin Tarantino would direct at least an episode, Screen Magazine reports that it is not the case. Tarantino and Olyphant have worked together before on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and Tarantino is also a huge fan of Elmore's writings. The show's writer, Michael Dinner, directed the first episode, as well as several others.
