The Big Picture There's some strange stuff going on in the west pasture on Prime Video's Weird Western series Outer Range, and there's also a lot of confusion about what will happen next. This modern Western thriller has managed to push the boundaries of the genre while constructing a solid, slow-burn narrative that could keep audiences engaged for years to come.
Likewise, in Season 2, when Joy jumps in the hole in 1886, she finds herself back in the 21st century, only days after she initially disappeared. It's possible that the void itself sends people where they want to go, and since Royal didn't intend to fall into the hole, it sent him somewhere randomly. But even that seems like it's a bit too random for this show...
Do Alternate Timelines Exist in 'Outer Range'? After seeing the black hole with his own eyes, Luke Tillerson digs into the Abbott's west pasture to rediscover the portal after it vanishes. Eventually, he finds a liquid form of the black dust and touches it, accidentally opening a portal that allows an entire herd of bison to break through. The hole itself seems to respond—opening and closing—to the desperate needs of those who enter it .
