The Bondsman is a 2025 American comedy-action mini-series directed by Thor Freudenthal, Sanaa Hamri, Catriona McKenzie, and Lauren Wolkstein, starring Kevin Bacon as Hub Halloran — a rough-edged bounty hunter who returns from the dead to discover his familiar trade now carries a supernatural, demonic edge.
What is The Bondsman about?
Hub Halloran was a backwoods bounty hunter who never quite made it as a musician. After an unlikely return from death, he finds himself granted an improbable second chance — one that puts him back on the road, back into the arms of a complicated love, and back in pursuit of fugitives. The catch: the fugitives he now tracks are not ordinary criminals. The job has acquired a decidedly infernal dimension, forcing Hub to contend with forces far beyond bail bonds and bail jumpers. As he tries to reclaim his life and perhaps resurrect his dormant musical ambitions, Hub must navigate an absurd, darkly comedic world where the boundaries between the mortal and the demonic have grown perilously thin.
Cast & crew
Kevin Bacon anchors the series with his trademark blend of wry charm and physical authority, drawing on decades of experience across genre film and television. Jennifer Nettles, Beth Grant, Damon Herriman, Maxwell Jenkins, and Jolene Purdy form a strong ensemble around him, lending the show its distinctive mix of Southern gothic atmosphere and deadpan comic energy.
Context & significance

Kevin Bacon's star power brings an immediate draw, and the show's blend of dark humor, action, and the supernatural echoes the tone of beloved American cult series that Persian audiences have long enjoyed. The series is available with Persian dubbing, making it fully accessible for viewers who prefer to watch in Farsi without relying on subtitles, as well as with Persian subtitles for those who want the original performances.
