The series features figures such as Lewis and Clark and Sacagawea, alongside the clashes between lawmakers and outlaws, and the rise of cowboys and ranchers.

Kevin Costner’s The West covers a century and explores “the resilience of trailblazing women, and the fervor of fortune seekers and abolitionists”.

Stories of the brith of American will be told from diverse perspectives. The show’s description states how “the series illuminates both the indelible contributions of the pioneers who shaped the dream of the American West and the courageous resistance of Native American tribes who valiantly defended their ancestral land”.

Costner previously posted about his show back in May when it first premiered in the USA.

He wrote on Instagram: “Really excited to dive deeper into the history of #TheWest with you guys, starting tonight at 9/8c on The @history channel.

“I worked with the brilliant historian @doriskgoodwin on this one, and I think you’ll be amazed at some of the very true stories we tell—stories which, though maybe not widely known, make up the very the fabric of The West.” Costner added: “I love this stuff. I hope you will too.”
