FETV is bringing one of Steve McQueen’s most memorable television roles to its schedule with Wanted: Dead or Alive. The classic western will be introduced with a marathon paired with Bullitt, giving viewers a full day of McQueen’s iconic performances. The series will then settle into a regular weekend slot on FETV in its original, uncut format.
According to a press release from FETV, the network will welcome Wanted: Dead or Alive to its lineup with “From Bounty to Bullitt,” on Sunday, September 6th.
A marathon of the classic western will air from 9a-3p ET, followed by McQueen’s 1968 action classic Bullitt.
“Wanted: Dead or Alive gave audiences an early look at everything that would make Steve McQueen an icon,” said Adam Sumrall, Executive Vice President of FETV and FMC. “Pairing Josh Randall with Bullitt gives our viewers a chance to spend a day with the King of Cool at two defining moments in his career.”
Wanted: Dead or Alive stars McQueen as bounty hunter Josh Randall, the cool, quick-drawing gunfighter armed with his sawed-off Winchester “Mare’s Leg.” The series premiered in 1958 and helped propel McQueen from television standout to one of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
Bullitt cemented McQueen’s place among Hollywood legends and remains renowned for its groundbreaking San Francisco car chase, widely regarded as one of the greatest action sequences in cinema history.
Beginning the following weekend, Wanted: Dead or Alive will air weekends at 10:10a ET. As with all series on FETV, Wanted: Dead or Alive will air in its original, uncut format. For more information on FETV’s programming schedule, visit https://fetv.tv/.
