TO SAY Timothy Olyphant can do “a little bit of everything” would be a lie. That’s because Timothy Olyphant can, in fact, do a lot of everything. This year alone, the 55-year-old has starring in Max’s Full Circle—playing a troubled, wealthy father in a crime thriller mystery helmed by Steven Soderbergh—as well as recurring as a music manager in Prime Video’s Daisy Jones and the Six series. Now, Olyphant is returning to his signature role as Raylan Givens in FX’s Justified: City Primeval, a new series taking inspiration from writer Elmore Leonard’s novel City Primeval.
Leonard’s short story “Fire in the Hole” and novel Raylan were both inspirations for the original series. The author passed away in 2013, but his oeuvre was still where the Justified team turned to when building out Raylan’s new world in Justified: City Primeval. Leonard’s work has also been the source material for movies like Soderbergh’s Out of Sight and Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown. Not exactly bad company to be in.
City Primeval
It takes a particular kind of skill to balance the tones present in Leonard’s work, which can go back and forth between bleak comedy and pulpy violence with a moment’s notice. But Olyphant’s work across roles and genres has always shown that he’s up to the task. Before he starred in the original Justified, Olyphant demonstrated that he had a wide range of talents. Appearances in edgy ’90s thrillers like Scream 2 and Go made him a favorite of the film community, and his first Western leading role—in HBO’s Deadwood—turned out to be a bona fide classic of the genre.
When Justified came around in 2010, he had the chance to take his lawman persona from Deadwood and build on it even more. While Olyphant is a California native, something about his cool charm and quick trigger finger just instantly felt right in the show’s contemporary Kentucky setting, and it felt right for the show’s perfect 78-episode run.
In the years since, Olyphant has continued to show off his tricks, appearing as a suburban dad in Netflix’s underrated zombie comedy Santa Clarita Diet, a role in Oliver Stone’s Snowden, and even with a quick role in Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood. That comes in addition to, yes, different kinds of cowboy roles in both Season 4 of Fargo and the Star Wars universe (he’s shown up in both The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett as Cobb Vanth).
But, look, things just feel right again with Olyphant back rocking that Raylan Givens hat. City Primeval sets him up in a brand new city, with a brand new case, and with a whole new cast of characters (including The Sandman‘s Boyd Holbrook) around him. This is something we can get used to. Maybe let’s plan on running it back every couple of years?
