‘The Outlaws’ Creator Bruno Gascon and Star Tomás Alves on the Dangers of Fascism: ‘History Repeats Itself’
“The Outlaws” is set in Portugal in the 1980s, when a dystopian dictatorship has taken over much of the world.
Director and writer Bruno Gascon, along with lead actor Tomás Alves, sat down with Variety to speak about the six-part miniseries at the Italian Global Series Festival in Rimini where the show had its world premiere. In “The Outlaws,” a carpenter, Mario, played by Alves, resists the regime by helping fugitives escape the system at great danger to himself. Gascon has moved between cinema with films such as the 2018 human trafficking drama “Carga” and the 2024 crime series “Irreverible.” He says that in Portugal the tradition is to have one off miniseries rather than coming back for continuing seasons.
