Liev Schreiber, Zazie Beetz & Stephen Graham to star in new Apple TV+ series based on Lars Kepler’s novels

Apple TV+ just announced their greenlight of a riveting new series based on Lars Kepler’s internationally bestselling crime novels, starring and executive produced by Tony Award winner and Emmy and Golden Globe Award nominee Liev Schreiber (The Perfect Couple, Ray Donovan) and Emmy Award nominee Zazie Beetz (Atlanta, Joker, Deadpool 2), and starring SAG Award winner Stephen Graham (Adolescence, Boardwalk Empire, Greyhound). The 10-episode drama is written and executive produced by BAFTA Award winner Rowan Joffe (Tin Star, The Ballad of a Small Player) and John Hlavin (Shooter, The Man Who Fell to Earth), with Emmy, Peabody and DGA Award winner Tim Van Patten (Franklin, Masters of the Air, Black Mirror) set to executive produce and direct the first two episodes.

Filming is set to begin this summer in Pittsburgh, US.

The project tells the story of Jonah Lynn (Schreiber), an ex-soldier turned homicide detective who, tired of working the tough streets of Philadelphia, moves to a small town in Western Pennsylvania for a quiet life. But, as the town and his family come under attack from the diabolically cunning serial killer Jurek Walter (Graham), Jonah must protect all that he holds dear. When the desperate search for Jurek’s last missing victim forces Jonah to send his adopted daughter, FBI Agent Saga Bauer (Beetz), up against Jurek, how far will Jonah go?

Produced for Apple TV+ by A+E Studios in association with Range Studios, the series is executive produced by showrunners Joffe and Hlavin. In addition to starring, Schreiber executive produces, as does Beetz via her Sleepy Poppy production company. Van Patten, Kepler (Alexandra Coelho Ahndoril and Alexander Ahndoril), Niclas Salomonsson, Øystein Karlsen, David Rysdahl, and Dorothy Fortenberry also serve as executive producers, while Julie Herrin serves as co-executive producer.
