The project stars Liev Schreiber (The Perfect Couple, Ray Donovan), Zazie Beetz (Atlanta, Deadpool 2), and Stephen Graham (Adolescence, Boardwalk Empire, Greyhound).
The series 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. As the town and his family come under attack from serial killer Jurek Walter (Graham), Jonah is forced to send his adopted daughter, FBI Agent Saga Bauer (Beetz), up against Jurek.
The 10-episode series, which is produced for Apple TV+ by A+E Studios in association with Range Studios, is written and executive produced by Rowan Joffe (Tin Star, The Ballad of a Small Player) and John Hlavin (Shooter, The Man Who Fell to Earth), with Tim Van Patten (Franklin, Masters of the Air, Black Mirror) set to executive produce and direct the first two episodes.
Also exec producing are Schreiber and Beetz, via her Sleepy Poppy production company. Kepler, Øystein Karlsen, David Rysdahl, Dorothy Fortenberry, and Niclas Salomonsson also serve as executive producers, while Julie Herrin serves as co-executive producer. Filming is set to begin this summer in Pittsburgh, Pa.
