Justified: Boyd Leaves Raylan With Only One Choice He Can Make

Now that we’ve gotten our first official teaser and a premiere date for showrunners Dave Andron & Michael Dinner‘s Justified: City Primeval, it seems only fitting that the latest chapter of FX’s look back at U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens’ (Timothy Olyphant) previous run brings us up to S06E13 “The Promise,” the FX series’ final episode. And if a scene is going to be showcased, then you would be hard-pressed to find one better than this exchange between Raylan and his nemesis, Boyd (Walton Goggins). For the sake of the scene and the performances you’re about to see, we won’t go any further because this might be the best argument yet as to why fans want the series back so badly.

Here’s a look at that pivotal scene from S06E13 “The Promise,” followed by a look back at what we know so far about FX’s Justified: City Primeval:

A Look at What’s to Come with Justified: City Primeval

Inspired by Elmore Leonard‘s City Primeval: High Noon in Detroit, the series return finds Raylan Givens (Olyphant) having left the hollers of Kentucky eight years ago and now living in Miami, a walking anachronism balancing his life as a U.S. Marshal and part-time father of a 14-year-old girl. His hair is grayer, his hat is dirtier, and the road in front of him is suddenly a lot shorter than the road behind. A chance encounter on a desolate Florida highway sends him to Detroit. There he crosses paths with Clement Mansell, aka “The Oklahoma Wildman” (Boyd Holbrook), a violent, sociopathic desperado who’s already slipped through the fingers of Detroit’s finest once and aims to do so again. Mansell’s lawyer, formidable Motor City native Carolyn Wilder (Aunjanue Ellis), has every intention of representing her client, even as she finds herself caught in between cop and criminal, with her own game afoot as well. These three characters set out on a collision course in classic Leonard fashion to see who makes it out of the “City Primeval” alive.

Along with Olyphant, the FX limited series Justified: City Primeval also stars Aunjanue Ellis (King Richard), Boyd Holbrook (The Premise), Adelaide Clemens (The Great Gatsby), Vondie Curtis Hall (Harriet), Marin Ireland (Y: The Last Man), Ravi Patel (The Valet, Meet the Patels), Norbert Leo Butz (Bloodline), Victor Williams (The Good Lord Bird), and Vivian Olyphant. Dave Andron & Michael Dinner will write, executive produce & serve as showrunners (with Dinner directing). Produced by Sony Pictures Television and FX Productions, Olyphant, Graham Yost, Sarah Timberman, Carl Beverly, Peter Leonard, Taylor Elmore (writer), and Chris Provenzano (writer) executive produce. Walter Mosley serves as a consulting producer, with V.J. Boyd, Eisa Davis, and Ingrid Escajeda also writing the series. FX’s Justified: City Primeval is set to hit screens on July 18th.

Serving as Television Editor since 2018, Ray began five years earlier as a contributing writer/photographer before being brought onto the core BC team in 2017.
