Regina King, Idris Elba and Jonathan Majors in 'The Harder They Fall'

The Harder They Fall is a western story told with flare and cultural characters that ballbust the status quo of roles in period pieces, especially those that depict people who are Black as subservient to others. It showcases powerful women as they are today, after all “women give birth to men” says director Jeymes Samuel. This story is filled with cultural dialogue and panache.

Samuel, who is an English writer, director, singer-songwriter and music producer from London, wanted to bring his own signature to the film that infuses an eclectic genre of music into the film to help bring the storyline and characters to life in a powerful and soulful way, while maintaining an 1890 western perspective.

The Harder They Fall on Netflix stars Regina King, Idris Elba, LaKeith Stanfield, Jonathan Majors, Zazie Beetz, Delroy Lindo, RJ Cyler, Edi Gathegi, Danielle Deadwyler and Deon Cole. It is produced by Shawn 'Jay Z' Carter, James Lassiter, Jeymes Samuel and Lawrence Bender.
