“Strange Empire: Rise of the Women” is a powerful and dynamic scripted drama about three strong and independent women who join forces to seek a new way of life in the perilous and dangerous world of the North American Frontier of the 1860’s. Thirteen one-hour episodes premiere on Friday, May 29th at 9pm ET on LMN, beginning with episode 1 and 2. One-hour episodes will follow Friday’s at 9pm ET thereafter.
With most of the men gone, and those who remain battling for control, the women struggle to survive, to find their independence and to build a life in which to thrive and raise families. As the stories of Janestown’s citizens unfold, viewers see the clash between a power-hungry father and son and the deep prejudices among races, but also the start of something akin to community in this Wild West. Western stories take civilization as a goal; they begin in blood and end in the morality of Main Street. Starring Cara Gee as Kat Loving, Melissa Farman as Dr. Rebecca Blithely and Tattiawna Jones as Isabelle Slotter.
