you have such a sharp eye! i'm absolutely sold on #5 based on this — the clothes look exactly the same, and they've taken care to cast an actor that looks similar.

i also think you're on to something here with the reoccurring clothing. rhett, cecilia and amy appear as they did the night of the rodeo, which was a major breaking point for the family. considering that royal also appears in the group, at various ages, it might be loved ones (+ himself) as he last remembers them from pivotal moments in his life? the night amy went missing, the day his father died, etc.

this could be a dream at the beginning of the season, where he's remembering these people at these specific points due to the stress of everything brought on by amy going missing, perry jumping into the void, the ranch about to be seized as part of perry's bond, rhett leaving, etc. or he might simply be hallucinating or envisioning these loved ones at any point in the season from major memories or moments caused by some form of failure on his part? like you said, it's so hard to tell with this show. 🥲

I present a fun challenge for y'all to distract us from the month-long wait for Season 2.

Who do you think these people are?

Here are my educated guesses:

I hope you can read my handwriting 😭

#YOUR MIND #outer range spoilers #i'm trying not to go full-tilt into colour theory but the fact that he's wearing red also has me like 👀👀👀👀👀

this sent me down a rabbit hole. 😅

i love to theorize but i also wanted to get to the bottom of exactly who these people are so i spent a foolish amount of time hyperfixated and dicking around on imdb, casting websites, etc. trying to figure out/confirm as many characters as i possibly could, apart from the ones we already know.

spoilers under the cut (identifying characters, theorizing about unconfirmed roles, royal's backstory):

note: the credited episodes are not comprehensive — what i've listed below is all that's currently listed on imdb and is not likely to be 100% accurate, as i doubt the actors' reps have fully updated their credits ahead of the season's release.

1. shauna earp as alma abbott — credited for 2.01, 2.04. there are no casting announcements for her, but i found her acting resume, which lists her role on outer range as alma abbott. i agree that she's likely cecilia's mom!

2. unsure who this actress is, as i cannot find her listed anywhere on the show's imdb page or in any of the casting announcements. given her costuming — the style/era of the clothing, possibly also wardrobe department making a choice to use specific colours to link generations, family lines, timelines ??? (oh i fear this might be a separate rabbit hole the longer i look at the group screenshot) — i think she might be an ancestor of cecilia's.

3. also not sure who this little guy is, as he's not listed anywhere on the show's imdb, but i could absolutely see this being youngest royal, given his proximity to the other royals here and his costuming.

4. teaguen arbogast as young royal abbott — credited for 2.05. (previously appeared in season one, episodes 1.01, 1.05, 1.07, 1.08.)

5. i'm fairly sure the guy in the back is daniel abeles, whose role is unknown — credited for 2.01. his casting announcement is here, role undisclosed. daniel's agent is frustratingly smart and did not leave any identifying information on his resume. i think he might also be a part of the abbott lineage, but it's possible he could also be royal's father, taking over from bryan macrina in s1, considering the style of his costuming. who knows, maybe he's a tillerson!

edit: wholeheartedly agreeing with @delopsia's eagle-eyed catch with the costuming that he is royal's father, which would make this a recasting from bryan macrina in episode 1.07.

6. christian james as young royal — credited for 2.01, 2.04. casting announcement here. prime video confirmed casting.

7. lili taylor as cecilia abbott.

8. brandon stacy as role unknown — credited for 2.02, 2.03. also has a smart agent; no role-identifying info on his resume. (given how much he looks like tom/perry here, i think he could be "ben"... iykyk.)

9. megan west as young cecilia — credited for 2.01. casting announcement here. prime video confirmed casting.

10. olive abercrombie as amy abbott.

11. ashlynn hideman as sissy abbott — credited for 2.02, 2.06, 2.07. although no legitimate source confirms her role, her imdb bio states she "wrapped a pivotal role on amazon studios' massive hit series 'outer range'," and her acting resume reveals her role. i'm guessing cecilia's sister.

12. this young actress also does not appear on the cast list or in any casting announcements. based on costuming, i absolutely agree this is probably young amy!

13. lewis pullman as rhett abbott.

14. isabel arraiza as maria olivares.

15. anna nicole silverstone as izzie sumner — credited for 2.03, 2.07. as far as i can recall, we've never heard of a sumner family. we don't know royal's real surname (yet), so she and the following 1-2 character(s) could be his family/ancestor(s). i'm thinking this is likely royal's sister.

16. emily katherine ford as isabella sumner — credited for 2.01, 2.02, 2.07. appears to be the younger izzie sumner.

17. unsure who the older actress is that's holding isabella, as i cannot visually match her to any of the listed or announced actors. very likely another sumner. i think this may be royal's mother.

given the characters gathered — past, present, possibly future iterations — i'm very curious about the omission of autumn, perry and rebecca, and the inclusion of maria. this has to be a dream sequence or "dark mineral"-induced hallucination.

i also wondered why rhett was in his riding gear, but depending on how royal is seeing this group of people, it might be a subconscious projection of his aspirations for rhett to continue on with bull riding and settle down with maria, or because that is the future path ahead for rhett. or something else entirely, lmao.

almost ten months ago, isabel posted this photo of her and lew, and now we know it was taken during the filming of this scene. 🥹

I present a fun challenge for y'all to distract us from the month-long wait for Season 2.

Who do you think these people are?

Here are my educated guesses:

I hope you can read my handwriting 😭

i was clicking around on imdb and imogen's stunt double has an acting credit in episode 2.04 as "buckle bunny." 👀

do we think rhett's going to ride again or is this going to be a one-off interaction with someone who recognizes him?

i'm gonna need prime video to get their shit together and commit to a spelling of cecilia/cecelia because reading their press materials is giving me a migraine.

#outer range #i tried to check the spelling in her signature like a month ago for a fic but iirc it could go either way #that's also when i noticed props mispelled the abbott address on the bond document lmao #and put a colorado zip code??

jumbled outer range season two trailer thoughts below... mild spoilers?

so... i'm thinking rhett seeing the missing poster for amy is the catalyst for him to go back to his family after he's left with maria (at the end of s1).

delopsia brilliantly identified the log cabin motel in the still image we saw last month of rhett and maria in bed. (side note: i don't think we've seen that bicep tattoo before. 👀) they might've stopped there after the buffalo stampede in 1.08, and then s2 picks up and we see rhett finding out amy has gone missing. the pull of family duty brings him back to the abbott ranch. tale as old as time.

this is the same outfit he's wearing in the still we've previously seen where he's talking to royal in the bar, and now that i'm looking at the picture again, i can't believe i missed the damn missing poster on the bartop.

as for this... well. charles murray is leaning heavy into the family rivalry thing between the abbotts and the tillersons for season two, and wayne did say that he wants to "break royal abbott, old testament style." but if you're asking me, that looks like a woman's hand around rhett's throat (autumn?), with his own hand clawing to get it off. (it also looks like this is happening in amy's room? someone correct me please but i swear i recognize that bookshelf?) this could also be a nightmare, a future vision, etc. anything is possible with this show. but also amazon if you kill him i'm in your goddamn walls.

#rhett abbott #someone give this man a break!!#outer range spoilers #i am so sleep deprived but this trailer has given me the excitement needed to get through the longgggg work day i'm about to head into 🥲
