It’s been two months since the second season of Billy the Kid ended its run, and we finally know what its future holds. Tom Blyth will keep exploring the Wild West as the legendary outlaw Billy the Kid after MGM+ renewed this series for its third and final season.
Season 3 will kick off in the wake of the Lincoln County War, and it will see Billy the Kid and Sheriff Pat Garrett (Alex Roe) facing a new reckoning. With a new bounty on his head and Garrett out to get him, Billy must fight to finally find the justice that has long eluded him, even if it means he’ll die trying.
Michael Hirst, who serves as writer and executive producer of Billy the Kid, is looking forward to bringing the tale of one of American history’s most fascinating misfits to a satisfying conclusion.
“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. 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,” Hirst said in a statement.
