Emerson Miller/Paramount+ Actor Billy Bob Thornton will host and executive produce “Billy Bob Thornton Presents: The Mayflower,”a three-part docudrama series that will stream on Fox Nation and examine the voyage of the Mayflower.
The series will debut on November 23, just ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday its subject helped spur.
“Billy Bob Thornton is a captivating storyteller with a unique ability to bring history to life. ‘The Mayflower ‘offers a fresh and thought-provoking perspective on one of the most familiar chapters in American history, giving viewers a richer understanding of the people, conflicts and events that shaped our nation’s beginnings,” said Lauren Petterson, president of Fox Nation, in a statement. The series traces the Pilgrims’ Atlantic crossing aboard the Mayflower, the alliance forged between English settlers and the Wampanoag people, and the conflict that ultimately pushed what were once colonies of Britain toward forming an an American identity.
