Amazon Original's Outer Range Season 2 filming in New Mexico

Season two of the Amazon Original television series, Outer Range, has begun filming around Santa Fe and Las Vegas.

New Mexico Film Office director Amber Dodson confirmed the project on Wednesday (5 April). 

A Western family saga, the story centres around Royal Abbott, played by Oscar-nominee Josh Brolin (Dune), a rancher who discovers an unfathomable mystery at the edge of Wyoming's wilderness.

Outer Range features an ensemble cast of award-winning and breakout talent, including Imogen Poots (I Know This Much is True), Lili Taylor (Perry Mason), Tamara Podemski (Four Sheet to the Wind), Lewis Pullman (Top Gun: Maverick), Tom Pelphrey (Ozark), Noah Reid (Schitt's Creek), Shaun Sipos (Reacher), Isabel Arraiza (The Little Things), and Olive Abercrombie (Haunting of Hill House).

Outer Range is produced by Plan B Entertainment for Amazon Studios.

The production will employ over 2,000 New Mexicans, approximately 2,000 as background talent and 200-300 resident crew members. 

“Returning series have become a big part of the growing film landscape in New Mexico,” Dodson said. “It is exciting to see a successful production like Outer Range continue to choose New Mexico and for rural areas like Las Vegas to continue to see the economic benefits of a television series for two consecutive years.”
