The MGM+ series Billy the Kid takes a fresh look at one of the most notorious outlaws of the Old West, chronicling his crimes & historical impact.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The MGM+ series Billy the Kid chronicles the mostly true account of the legendary Old West outlaw William H. Bonney. The Western series closely follows the rise and fall of one of the most infamous and murderous figures of the late 1800s set in the frontier-expanding United States.
Billy the Kid season 1 features a young Henry McCarty being referred to as Kid Antrim for a brief stint before Billy started running with an alias he made up himself, William H. Bonney. When he started working with Jesse Evans and his gang, everyone referred to him as William H. Bonney until Pat Garrett coined the iconic nickname Billy the Kid for him. In reality, Garrett was not the one who gave Billy his iconic name but it's believed that the press widely popularized it.
McCarty fled to Arizona and found work as a cattle rancher while also gambling his earnings on card games. Henry continued to go by his given name in 1876 when he started working as a ranch hand for the prominent rancher Henry Hooker. Before long, McCarty fell back into a life of crime by stealing horses from United States soldiers in the area. Despite his illegal activities, McCarty was considered widely liked and had a friendly personality which got him the name Kid Antrim among his peers.
Billy the Kid season 1 depicts Bonney working briefly with Jesse's gang under Lawrence Murphy, James Dolan, and John Riley before siding with Tunstall after discovering that Murphy was willing to kill dozens of innocent natives to take control of Lincoln County. Determined to try a straight life under Tunstall's leadership, Billy the Kid became one of the Regulators alongside Charlie Bowdre, George Coe, and Tom O'Folliard to defend and enforce Tunstall's interests.
