The series stars Rhianne Barreto (HannaDixi) as Rani, Gamba Cole (HannaGuerrilla) as Christian, Stephen Merchant as Greg, Christopher Walken (SeveranceThe Deer Hunter) as Frank, Eleanor Tomlinson (PoldarkThe Nevers) as Lady Gabriela, Darren Boyd (TryingFortitude) as John, Clare Perkins (The Wheel of TimeSuspicion) as Myrna, and Jessica Gunning (BackFortitude) as Diane.

The Outlaws is a Big Talk and Four Eyes production co-created by Stephen Merchant—who also serves as an executive producer, director, and writer—and Elgin James. Luke Alkin, Kenton Allen, and Matthew Justice also serve as executive producers for Big Talk. The Outlaws is co-produced by BBC One and Amazon Studios. Global distribution is handled by BBC Studios. The pickup of the show’s second season was announced in November.
