The ‘intense challenge’ of filming Netflix’s American Primeval

Dane DeHaan has opened up about the gruelling experience of filming Netflix’s highly anticipated western, saying: “It’s hard to put into words how intense this show really is.”

Dehaan plays Jacob Pratt, a Mormon travelling west when he and his family are attacked and left for dead during the Mountain Meadows Massacre.

Describing the brutal portrayal of frontier life, the actor said: “American Primeval is like if you took Yellowstone, doused it in gasoline, and set it on fire.”

The series is streaming now on Netflix.
