The Lincoln County War may be officially over, but both Billy the Kid and Sheriff Pat Garrett have important issues to resolve - there is a reckoning to come. Billy is still at large, and Garrett is out to capture him, dead or alive. And with a bounty on his head, Billy has the opportunity to quit New Mexico altogether and pursue a future with Dulcinea, the love of his life. But he has unfinished business with Garrett, who has betrayed him, and decides to stay. Meanwhile, Jesse Evans, Billy's longtime friend, rival and enemy, also remains in Lincoln, searching for a newfound purpose and perhaps atonement for his sins. As the final chapter in the saga comes to a close, Billy will fight like hell to try to finally find the justice that has long eluded him, even if it means he'll die trying.
The drama stars Tom Blyth, Daniel Webber and Alex Roe.
Michael Hirst created the drama. He executive produces with Donald De Line, Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey. Amazon MGM Studios, Amblin Television and De Line Pictures produce.
"In season two, Michael Hirst, Donald De Line, along with Tom Blyth and the rest of our talented cast, captivated audiences with the dramatic events leading to the infamous Lincoln County War, during which Billy is struggling to hang on to both his soul and the love of his life," said Michael Wright, Head of MGM+. "In season three, we are excited to bring the naturally cinematic story of one of American history's most fascinating, and often misunderstood, characters to its conclusion, as only MGM+ can."
"I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to write the third and final season of Billy the Kid and bring this compelling saga to a close," added Hirst. "Billy was famous for many things, not least his ability to escape from seemingly impossible situations. But now, as the Most Wanted Man in America, the odds are truly stacked against him."
