Premiering back-to-back on Saturday, January 23 at 9/8c and 10/9c, THE COWBOY is a dynamic celebration of the most beloved American icon. These two hour-long specials tell the tale of the Old West through the lens of historians, renowned actors, directors, producers, and cinematographers - including Bruce Dern, Seth MacFarlane, Adam Beach, Anson Mount and Ben Mankiewicz - as well as real-life cowboys and modern-day Western figures. Featuring original interviews with those inspired by the legends and lore presented in iconic moments from classic and contemporary Western films, on-set and on-the-range footage all set to a classic Cowboy score, THE COWBOY explores the significance of what it meant to be this virtuous embodiment of the American character - and harkens back to the spirit that this way of life captured.
