Jason Momoa is stepping into a new leading role with the Apple TV series “Nomad,” reuniting with “Sons of Anarchy” creator Kurt Sutter to explore the brutal world of New Zealand’s biker gangs. This highly anticipated Jason Momoa new action series promises to blend outlaw culture and family dynamics in a tense, character-driven drama set against a backdrop of crime and loyalty.
Momoa Takes Center Stage in Violent, High-Stakes Drama
Following his debut as Lobo in the DC Universe, Jason Momoa is taking on a character deeply immersed in the dangerous subculture of New Zealand’s outlaw bikers. In “Nomad,” Momoa leads as a complicated figure torn between two different lives, forced to navigate both family expectations and underworld allegiances. Apple TV, which previously collaborated with Momoa for the post-apocalyptic show “See,” brings the actor together once more with creator Kurt Sutter and showrunner Chris Collins, known for his work on “John Wick: Chapter 3” and as a producer on “Sons of Anarchy.”
“In the violent underworld of New Zealand’s outlaw bikers, a warrior torn between two lives, two callings and two families must decide which path defines his true destiny.”
Sutter’s Return to Motorcycle Club Drama
Kurt Sutter, renowned for “Sons of Anarchy,” brings his experience chronicling the brotherhood, power struggles, and shifting loyalties of biker clubs to “Nomad.” His earlier series, which ran from 2008 to 2014, followed Charlie Hunnam’s Jackson Jax Teller as he confronted personal and familial conflicts in a California motorcycle club. “Sons of Anarchy” gained lasting praise for its nuanced storytelling and spawned a successful spin-off, “Mayans M.C.,” while continuing interest in Sutter’s approach to outlaw themes has set expectations high for this newest project.
With no shortage of dramatic potential, “Nomad” is expected to mix the charged atmosphere and complex characterization characteristic of Sutter’s past work, now set in the distinct environment of New Zealand’s biker underworld. Chris Collins, taking on the role of showrunner, has been crafting the pilot alongside Sutter, ensuring continuity in gritty storytelling and thematic exploration.
Momoa’s Expanding Portfolio of Major Roles
Jason Momoa is no stranger to high-profile and physically intense lead roles. Alongside his previous Apple TV success with “See” and his part in the Hawaiian historical series “Chief of War,” Momoa’s upcoming projects demonstrate his growing versatility. He is set to reprise the character Duncan Idaho in Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part Three,” portray Blanka in the “Street Fighter” film adaptation, team up with Dave Bautista for “The Wrecking Crew,” and appear as bounty hunter Lobo in James Gunn’s DCU installment “Supergirl.”
This packed schedule underscores Momoa’s appeal within the action genre, with “Nomad” expected to be another major showcase for his commanding screen presence. The series, set within a compelling narrative driven by the tension between loyalty, identity, and moral choices, aligns naturally with Momoa’s strengths and previous work.
Looking Ahead: Anticipation Builds for ‘Nomad’
While details such as the full cast and release date are still under wraps, excitement is mounting for Jason Momoa’s new action series. The collaboration between Kurt Sutter and Chris Collins suggests a narrative rich in authentic biker culture and emotional complexity. As Apple TV deepens its relationship with Momoa and taps into Sutter’s expertise in the genre, “Nomad” could offer both gripping drama and a fresh perspective on familiar outlaw themes.
The combination of Momoa’s track record, Sutter’s storytelling, and the New Zealand setting is expected to appeal to fans of crime dramas and longtime followers of “Sons of Anarchy.” Viewers can look forward to a story that tackles the complexities of family, loyalty, and survival amid the dangers of the outlaw biker world, further cementing Jason Momoa’s presence in the action series landscape.
