The new series, Nomad, marks another major step for Jason Momoa, who is joining forces once again with Apple TV following his previous successes on the platform. This action crime drama brings together industry veterans, with Kurt Sutter creating the show and Chris Collins, recognized for his work on Sons of Anarchy and John Wick: Chapter 3, co-writing the pilot and serving as showrunner.

This approach ensures a blend of personal conflict and high-stakes action, a formula that has proven successful in the past for those involved with the project.
Kurt Sutter Returns to Familiar Territory
Kurt Sutter has a proven track record when it comes to gripping tales about motorcycle clubs and family loyalty. His earlier series, Sons of Anarchy, aired from 2008 to 2014, captivating viewers with stories of an outlaw collective operating in the California town of Charming. The show centered around Charlie Hunnam’s portrayal of Jackson “Jax” Teller, who wrestled with his identity and beliefs after discovering his late father’s manifesto, prompting a season-spanning struggle about the direction and purpose of the club.
Sons of Anarchy ran for seven seasons and earned widespread acclaim during its broadcast, frequently mentioned as one of the strongest drama series on television. Spin-offs such as Mayans M.C. have kept the world alive, yet Sutter now seems intent on exploring fresh narratives, this time on the other side of the globe. Despite the new location, the series will, like its predecessor, ride on the dramatic fuel of motorcycles and morality.
Momoa’s Expanding Television and Film Achievements
Taking on the lead role in Nomad appears to be an ideal fit for Jason Momoa, known for his intense screen presence and previous Apple TV hits such as the post-apocalyptic drama See and the Hawaiian historical epic Chief of War. Momoa’s involvement underscores his versatility, seamlessly shifting from genre television to high-profile films. His upcoming slate includes returning as Duncan Idaho in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Three, portraying Blanka in a new Street Fighter adaptation, collaborating with Dave Bautista in the action comedy The Wrecking Crew, and making his debut as Lobo in James Gunn’s expanding DC Universe with the forthcoming Supergirl installment.
This continued streak of projects solidifies Momoa’s reputation for balancing action-oriented performances with roles that require emotional complexity, a trait that seems destined to play a key role in Nomad as he navigates conflicting ambitions and family bonds in a lawless world.
Anticipation Builds for ‘Nomad’
With production underway, anticipation is growing for Nomad, as fans of both Jason Momoa and creator Kurt Sutter look forward to this next chapter in biker drama storytelling. Supported by the writing of Sutter and Collins, and with Apple TV backing the series, Nomad is positioned to draw viewers eager for fresh takes on loyalty, identity, and survival.
The new series promises to deliver high-intensity action and complex personal drama set against the criminal backdrop of New Zealand’s motorcycle culture. As more details emerge and the release date approaches, both longtime viewers of Sutter’s earlier works and newcomers are likely to be drawn to Nomad’s raw storytelling and star-powered cast.
