Each clipper force is captained by a regent.
A baron maintains power through an army of young men and women called clippers: highly trained and loyal warriors, clippers are forbidden from marrying and having children lest their loyalties be divided. Each baron is served by a massive workforce of slaves called cogs, as well as a prostitute class called dolls. Barons control land and monopolies over commodities like opium and fuel, trading amongst themselves to maintain the peace. In a territory known as the Badlands, encompassing several states located between the Rocky Mountains and Mississippi River, a feudal society has developed to fill the power vacuum left by the war. Some elements of technology, such as electricity and ground vehicles, have survived the apocalypse, but society now shuns firearms, leading to a reliance on melee weaponry and crossbows. In a postapocalyptic world approximately 500 years in the future, war has left civilization in ruins.
On February 9, 2019, AMC canceled the show after three seasons. The series follows a warrior and a young boy who journey through a dangerous feudal land together seeking enlightenment. Into the Badlands has been described as 'a high-octane sci-fi martial arts series' and as a 'post-apocalyptic drama'.
Into the Badlands is an American television series that premiered on November 15, 2015, on AMC.
