MUMBAI: Turner Network Television (TNT) in the US has big plans as far the western genre is concerned. It will produce in association with Dreamworks Television the series Into The West..

The show looks at how the white man adventurously started to explore the American wilderness. This resulted in a clash of two cultures . At that time there was a rush to riches in a new land and as a result a new civilisation was built.

The show goes on air later this year on TNT in the US. The cast includes Matthew Settle Band of Brothers and Skeet Ulrich As Good as It Gets. The series is currently shooting in Calgary and New Mexico.

The series follows two multi-generational families. One is a group of settlers and the other are Native Americans. Each tells the dramatic stories of the development of the West from their distinct points of view. Throughout the series, the two families will experience the historical and cultural events that led to an epic clash of culture, often coming in contact with notable figures and events from the era.

TNT senior VP original programming Michael Wright said, " This is the most ambitious original production TNT has ever undertaken. Producing something of this size and complexity would be impossible without the amazing talents and passionate hard work of those who are bringing it to life. We are fortunate to have some of the most talented people in the industry working on what we believe will be the television event of the year."
