Justified Season 6 premiered with its pilot episode dubbed, 'Fate's Right Hand,' January 20. The sixth series is said to be the final season and spoilers reveal that the show will wind up going back to its original focus, the war between Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) and Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins.)
But the main character of Ava Crowder, Boyd's former fiancée and Raylan's sometime lover is also said to be played tremendously in the concluding season. Ava has been seen to be both on the right and wrong sides of the law, spending most of season 5 in jail.
The sixth season premiere took off straightforwardly to the conflict that will cap off the show's finale. Raylan has arranged Ava to be his informant against Boyd Crowder and his gang, including Dewey Crowe who is apparently is still alive.
Joelle Carter talked about her character as Ava Crowder during TCA Press Tour last week.
"She's just been saved by a man that she has some distaste for, for the way he left their relationship, and she's having to reunite with a man she's quite angry with, for abandoning her in prison," Carter revealed.
"And yet she's going to have to rekindle that relationship somehow and make this work. And I think she's looking for the best opportunity and just trying to figure out how to play out this new role and fill this new identity. It's exhausting for Ava."
Moreover, EP Graham Yost assures that fans will see more of how Carter plays Ava well caught between a rock and a hard place this season similarly in the previous season.
"It's just a horrible position to be put in, and she'll be tugged back and forth," Yost reportedly said. "That's all I'll say about it, because obviously it has to evolve and it has to change and move."
Wynn Duffy also returned in the first episode of Justified season 6 as the Dixie mafia leader who hires Boyd out as a freelance bank robber. The like of Garret Dillahunt as Ty Walker is introduced as one of the new villains who had a standoff with Rayland in 'Fate's Right Hand' episode
