Recanati-Kaplan Talks

Prime Video’s The Outlaws

Stephen Merchant in Conversation Moderated by Author and Comedian Sarah Cooper

Mar 26, 2022

Join Emmy Award-winning writer, actor, and producer Stephen Merchant (co-creator of The Office UK) for a conversation about his new show, The Outlaws, premiering on Prime Video on April 1. Created by Merchant with Elgin James, The Outlaws is the story of a group of disparate lawbreakers from all walks of life — played by Academy Award winner Christopher Walken, Rhianne Barreto, Gamba Cole, Clare Perkins, Eleanor Tomlinson, Darren Boyd, and Merchant himself — who form an uneasy alliance when they are forced help renovate a derelict community center … and protect one of their own when they are dragged into a world of organized crime. Hear Merchant discuss the making of this darkly hilarious series — how he developed the story and wide-ranging characters, the unique chemistry of the brilliant ensemble cast, stories from behind the scenes, and more.
