Carter Burwell is set to reteam with the Coen Brothers on the upcoming Netflix original series The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. The show is written and directed by Joel & Ethan Coen and stars Tim Blake Nelson, James Franco, Zoe Kazan, Tyne Daly, Ralph Ineson and Stephen Root. The western anthology series will feature six tales about the American frontier. Each chapter will feature a distinct story about the American West. The Coens are also executive producing the project with Megan Ellison (Foxcatcher, Her, American Hustle) & Sue Naegle (Outcast) for Annapurna Television, as well as Robert Graf. Burwell has previously collaborated with the Coen Brothes on most of their features, including Fargo, True Grit, No Country for Old Men, The Big Lebowski, Blood Simple and Raising Arizona. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is expected to premiere in 2018 on Netflix.
Burwell’s recent projects also include Wonderstruck, Goodbye Christopher Robin and Martin McDonagh’s Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, all of which are being released this fall.
