Godless

Production Note - Limited Series

Godless is a standalone Limited Series that concluded its 7-episode run in November 2017. Created by Scott Frank and executive produced by Steven Soderbergh, the production was envisioned as a cinematic journey rather than a recurring television show. Originally conceived as a feature film script over a decade prior to its release, the project expanded into a sprawling western epic that utilized its seven hours to provide a complete narrative arc for its ensemble cast.

The series was filmed primarily on location in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where an entire western town was built to serve as the setting of La Belle. Because the story focuses on a specific cycle of betrayal and redemption between Roy Goode and Frank Griffin, the finale resolves all primary character motivations and central conflicts. Netflix marketed the title as a limited event, and the creative team has consistently stated that the story was told in its entirety, leaving no plans for a continuation or second season.
