The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is an upcoming television anthology series written, directed, and produced by the Coen brothers. Joel and Ethan Coen announced the project in January 2017 as a collaboration with Annapurna Television. A western, it is the Coens' first work as writers and directors for television. The series will consist of six tales that will premiere on Netflix in 2018.
The series' cast includes James Franco, Zoe Kazan, Tyne Daly, and Ralph Ineson. Tim Blake Nelson and Stephen Root, both of whom have worked with the Coens previously, are also expected to appear, with Nelson appearing as Buster.
