The story of the opening of the American West is given epic treatment in this six-week television event from DreamWorks Television and master storyteller and executive producer Steven Spielberg. This dramatic tale of the adventurous exploration of the American wilderness, the clash of two cultures, the rush to riches in a new land and the building of a new civilization features a starring cast including Skeet Ulrich, Matthew Settle, Keri Russell, Alan Tudyk, Christian Kane, Josh Brolin, Beau Bridges, George Leach, Tonantzin Carmelo, Jessica Capshaw, Will Patton, Gary Busey, Zahn McClarnon, Michael Spears and Simon Baker, as well as many others.

INTO THE WEST follows two multi-generational families, one settlers and the other Native American, each telling the dramatic stories of the development of the West from their distinct points of view. One family is the Wheeler clan, a Virginia family of wheelwrights making their trek westward. The other family is a plains Native American family hailing from the Lakota tribe. Throughout the series, the two families experience the historical and cultural events that led to an epic clash of culture, often coming in contact with notable figures and events from the era.

Darryl Frank (Taken, Las Vegas) and Justin Falvey (Las Vegas), co-heads of DreamWorks Television, serve as executive producers, along with William Mastrosimone (Sinatra, The Burning Season), who also wrote the overall story for the series and the scripts for three of its installments. INTO THE WEST is produced by David A. Rosemont, executive producer of TNT’s Purgatory and Emmy-winning Door to Door.
