For instance, the Wyatt Earp installment will show the “real story” of what happened during the legendary OK Corral gunfight, a shootout Earp was heavily involved in.
Fimmel states that they’ll “let the audience decide for themselves if people like Wyatt Earp were sinners or victims of life circumstances,” according to Deadline.
Beginning with Earp’s days in the violent Dodge City, the first installment will track the life of Wyatt Earp and his complex relationships with other Wild West figures with enviable names like Doc Holiday and Bat Masterson.
The goal of the anthology is to shake away the rose-tinted glasses Hollywood has placed over some of history’s most complex icons in order to show them for how they really were.
