Billy the Kid is a new EPIX Original series, written by Vikings and The Tudors creator Michael Hirst and stars British actor Tom Blyth (The Gilded Age, Benediction) and Daniel Webber (The Dirt, Escape From Pretoria). The series is an epic romantic adventure series based on the life of famous American outlaw, also known as William H. Bonney — from his humble Irish roots, to his early days as a cowboy and gunslinger in the American frontier, to his pivotal role in the Lincoln County War and beyond.

Webber will play Jesse Evans, another famous outlaw and leader of the Seven Rivers Gang. When they meet, Jesse has already embraced a life of crime: robbing stores and cattle rustling. Billy is attracted to his wild and reckless character and becomes Billy’s doppelganger of sorts — his shadow self, forever inviting him over to the dark side of life.

Series star, Tom Blyth hails from Nottingham, England where he lived prior to being accepted to study at Juilliard in New York City. Assorted local theatre, film and television work in England was followed by training and productions with the prestigious National Youth Theatre of Great Britain, one of which took him to perform in Saudi Arabia. Upon graduation from Juilliard in 2020, he was immediately cast in a supporting role in the film “Benediction”, written and directed by Terence Davies. Blyth played the historical figure, Glen Byam Shaw, in this portrait of 1920s British art scene. He just completed filming a guest role in HBO’s “The Gilded Age”. He resides in New York City.
