The Laird's Last Stand: A Tale of Power, Pride, and Preservation Kenneth Branagh's forthcoming Paramount+ drama series "Laird" promises to be an epic family saga about one man's unwavering commitment to preserving his ancestral lands against the relentless march of oligarchical land grabbing in the Scottish Highlands.
At its core, "Laird" is a story about resistance – not just against the American billionaire who seeks to buy up the Highlands, but also against the erosion of cultural identity that often accompanies unchecked wealth and power.
The show's creators, Jez and John Henry Butterworth, are known for exploring themes of class and privilege in their work on "The Agency" and "Mobland".
