The Fall Guy adaptations: films & series
Every version of The Fall Guy — the films & series, compared across media.
Colt Seavers is a Hollywood stuntman who turns his physical daring into a second career — putting his rough-and-tumble skills to work tracking down bail jumpers alongside his stunt work. In the 2024 film, the same character returns fresh off a career-threatening accident, chasing a missing movie star, unravelling a conspiracy, and trying to win back the woman he loves. The Fall Guy has lived in two distinct forms, each built around the same resourceful hero and the stunt world as both backdrop and plot engine.

Frequently asked
Is the 2024 Fall Guy movie based on a TV show?
Yes — The Fall Guy (2024) shares its central character and premise with the 1981 television series The Fall Guy, which followed stuntman Colt Seavers as he used his skills to track down bail jumpers.
How many versions of The Fall Guy are there?
There are two versions: the 1981 TV series The Fall Guy and the 2024 film The Fall Guy, both centred on stuntman Colt Seavers.
Which version of The Fall Guy should I watch first?
Either works as a standalone entry. The 1981 series is an episodic action-crime show following Colt's bounty-hunting sideline; the 2024 film is a self-contained action-comedy-romance built around a conspiracy and a missing movie star.
