We spoke to TheEnglish creator Hugo Blick about his new PrimeVideo Western, casting Chaske Spencer opposite Emily Blunt, and the nuanced approach he takes to the genre's tropes:
Award-winning writer and director Hugo Blick tackles the Western genre in The English, now streaming on Prime Video. The 6-episode series follows two individuals who join forces for personal revenge, but it speaks to a wider narrative of race and class that is often overlooked when enjoying the wild West. At the same time, it is a love story that demands a strong connection to and between the leads.
Hugo Blick: On behalf of Emily, I constructed the scripts for her; around her; bespoke for her. So, it was a suit that was right for her fitting.I knew that she was comfortable and confident in the expression of the character. You have often worked on stories that have either political intrigue or moral quandaries, but Westerns are a very specific genre, especially the way that you tackle it by really focusing on the injustices committed against Native communities. Can you talk about what really attracted you to that, and how you approach it from the perspective of outsiders?
