Kevin Bacon started his career in the horror genre, and decades later, he’s still game for more.

Amazon has ordered eight half-hour episodes of The Bondsman, a Blumhouse Television production with a distinctly horrifying (and hilarious) premise.

Bacon plays Hub Halloran, “a backwoods bounty hunter who comes back from the dead with an unexpected second chance at life, love, and a nearly-forgotten musical career — only to find that his old job now has a demonic new twist,” according to the show’s official logline.

The show stems from an original idea and script by Grainger David, who will also executive produce. David’s short film The Chair was screened in competition for the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

Erik Oleson (Carnival Row) will serve as showrunner and executive producer via CrimeThink. Jason Blum, Chris McCumber, Jeremy Gold, and Chris Dickie for Blumhouse TV also executive produce, as will Bacon. Production on the program will not start until all guild labor negotiations are resolved.

Bacon has been active in the horror genre since starring in his first feature film. He was horribly murdered in the first of many Friday the 13th movies, and also was the lead in Fox’s serial-killer drama The Following, which ran for three seasons and ended in 2015. He has worked with Blumhouse before as well, starring in the 2022 horror flick They/Them which aired on Peacock.

He has been featured on Amazon’s Prime Video before, as the title character in their series I Love Dick, and recently wrapped a three-season run as FBI agent Jackie Rohr in Showtime’s City on a Hill.

Bacon, of course, is best known for his iconic film roles, such as his performances in Footloose, Hollow Man, Mystic River, Apollo 13, Tremors, A Few Good Men, and many more.
