As the team embeds itself and prepares to defend against overwhelming odds, they grapple with a central question: Is violence acceptable to defend people whose faith is based on non-violence? The series explores the backstories of each of the Seven, what’s at stake for them, and why they choose this mission—delving into themes of honor, sacrifice, redemption, morality, and faith.will play Harriet Talbot, who is sharp, unflinching, and unwilling to back down.
Born into poverty in Boston, Harriet married a wealthy merchant who turned out to be cruel in every way a man can be. When she found herself pregnant, she realized that she could not stay with this man. She barely escaped him with the clothes on her back and found her way to a home for wayward women — where she was encouraged to give the baby up for adoption.
Lost and with nowhere to turn, she happened upon a Quaker community that took her in without question. The community became her home and her faith. Wanting to marry and settle down, she is matched with Samuel in a Quaker community all the way out in Wyoming. Shortly after she arrives, and minutes after the ceremony, Samuel is killed in Skelton in an effort to scare them off their land.
Harriet cannot stand idly by. She sets out to find protection, and it’s through her that Chris is drawn into the mission. Her strength isn’t in firepower. It’s in conviction.wry, sarcastic, and emotionally guarded.
Katie learned to shoot from her father on the family’s farm. When a Wild West show came through, she was recruited and given the moniker “Deadeye Dalton,” the fastest gun in the west. As their star attraction, she dutifully sent money home — and during that stretch crossed paths with Vin in a brief, vivid fling neither quite forgot.
After years on the stage, she finally made it back home to see her family, only to find the house empty, with no sign of what had happened to them. Distraught, she started drinking. The drinking got worse, and one night her aim slipped, and she killed her co-star in front of a crowd. The years since have been a slow drift from one dead end to the next, chasing rumors of her brothers that go nowhere.
Tired. Faded. Still dangerous with a gun, but haunted. Lawrence Mirisch, Bruce Kaufman, and Matt Dillon.
