Justified: City Primeval Poster: The Lawman & The Wildman; BTS Video

With Justified: City Primeval premiering tonight, we have a new key art poster to pass along as well as a new behind-the-scenes featurette.

With only hours to go until the two-episode premiere of Davie Andron & Michael Dinner's Justified: City Primeval, it's only fitting that we're getting a new key art poster focusing on U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) and Clement Mansell, aka "The Oklahoma Wildman" (Boyd Holbrook) – "The Lawman" versus "The Wildman," with Carolyn Wilder (Aunjanue Ellis) the wildcard in the mix. But we have more than just posters to share, as the cast and creative team get us up-to-speed on what we need to know heading into "City Primeval."

In the following featurette, we learn how Elmore Leonard's novel was adapted in a way to be a Raylan story, modernizing the character to match different view on law enforcement while still maintaining a "fun" aspect, and more:

A Look at FX's Justified: City Primeval

Inspired by Elmore Leonard's City Primeval: High Noon in Detroit, the series return finds Raylan Givens (Olyphant) having left the hollers of Kentucky eight years ago and now living in Miami, a walking anachronism balancing his life as a U.S. Marshal and part-time father of a 14-year-old girl. His hair is grayer, his hat is dirtier, and the road in front of him is suddenly a lot shorter than the road behind.

A chance encounter on a desolate Florida highway sends him to Detroit. There he crosses paths with Clement Mansell, aka "The Oklahoma Wildman" (Boyd Holbrook), a violent, sociopathic desperado who's already slipped through the fingers of Detroit's finest once and aims to do so again. Mansell's lawyer, formidable Motor City native Carolyn Wilder (Aunjanue Ellis), has every intention of representing her client, even as she finds herself caught in between cop and criminal, with her own game afoot as well. These three characters set out on a collision course in classic Leonard fashion to see who makes it out of the "City Primeval" alive.

Along with Olyphant, the FX limited series Justified: City Primeval also stars Aunjanue Ellis (King Richard), Boyd Holbrook (The Premise), Adelaide Clemens (The Great Gatsby), Vondie Curtis Hall (Harriet), Marin Ireland (Y: The Last Man), Ravi Patel (The Valet, Meet the Patels), Norbert Leo Butz (Bloodline), Victor Williams (The Good Lord Bird), and Vivian Olyphant. Dave Andron & Michael Dinner write, executive produce & serve as showrunners (with Dinner directing).

Produced by Sony Pictures Television and FX Productions, Olyphant, Graham Yost, Sarah Timberman, Carl Beverly, Peter Leonard, Taylor Elmore (writer), and Chris Provenzano (writer) executive produce. Walter Mosley serves as a consulting producer, with V.J. Boyd, Eisa Davis, and Ingrid Escajeda also writing the series. FX's Justified: City Primeval is set to hit screens on July 18th.
