130 free Justified trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
This Justified trivia quiz covers all six seasons and 78 episodes of the FX neo-Western that ran from 2010 to 2015, plus the 2023 sequel City Primeval. It follows Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, the quick-drawing lawman sent home to Harlan County, Kentucky, and his old coal-mining friend turned adversary Boyd Crowder. The easy questions are ones any viewer knows: who plays Raylan and Boyd, the writer whose stories inspired the show, the hat, the marshals' office in Lexington and what Raylan did to Tommy Bucks in Miami. From there it works through every season: Bo Crowder and the cartel, Mags Bennett and her poisoned moonshine, Dickie's lame leg, Robert Quarles's sleeve gun, Ellstin Limehouse and Noble's Holler, the parachutist and Waldo Truth, Drew Thompson's true identity, the Crowes, Avery Markham's vault and the last words in the prison. There are behind-the-scenes questions on the Pittsburgh-shot pilot, why Boyd was meant to die in it, the Gangstagrass theme, the Emmys for Margo Martindale and Jeremy Davies, and Elmore Leonard's own verdict on the adaptation. Every answer was checked against the encyclopaedia entries for the series, its seasons, its characters and its cast before publishing, and the supporting sentence is stored with each question.
