Matt Dillon to Star in MGM+’s ‘The Magnificent Seven’

One of the most influential Westerns of the 20th century is riding to streaming, and Matt Dillon is leading the way. The actor is set to star in the upcoming eight-episode drama series The Magnificent Seven for MGM+, bringing the classic tale of hired guns defending a desperate town and its people to a new generation.

The project reimagines the iconic story first popularized by the 1960 film and will serve as a serialized take on the ensemble Western, expanding the characters and conflicts beyond the original’s runtime.
