Dark and Eerie Trailer for Showtime Series AMERICAN RUST Starring Jeff Daniels

Showtime has released a new trailer for their upcoming series American Rust, starring Emmy-winning actor Jeff Daniels (The Newsroom, The Comey Rule) and Emmy-nominated actress Maura Tierney (ER, The Affair). The series is based on the Phillip Meyer novel of the same name, and comes from Oscar-nominated writer and showrunner Dan Futterman. John Dahl, Darnell Martin, and Craig Zisk serve as the series directors.

Here’s the show’s synopsis:

Based on Philipp Meyer’s celebrated debut novel American Rust, AMERICAN RUST is a compelling family drama that explores the tattered American dream through the eyes of complicated and compromised chief of police Del Harris (Daniels) in a Rust Belt town in southwest Pennsylvania. When the woman he truly loves sees her son accused of murder, Harris is forced to decide what he’s willing to do to protect him.

The series also stars Bill Camp, David Alvarez, Alex Neustaedter, Julia Mayorga, Mark Pellegrino, and Rob Yang. This looks like an intense look at small-town corruption, and like another incredible performance from Daniels. I am looking forward to checking this series out. Watch the trailer below, and catch American Rust on Showtime starting September 12, 2021.
