Liev Schreiber, Zazie Beetz and Stephen Graham Set to Star in Apple TV+ Series Based on Lars Kepler Novels
Apple and A&E Studios are working on an untitled series based on the Lars Kepler novels, starring Liev Schreiber (The Perfect Couple, Ray Donovan), Zazie Beetz (Atlanta, Deadpool 2), and Stephen Graham (Adolescence, Boardwalk Empire).
Rowan Joffe and John Hlavin will co-showrun the project and executive produce alongside Tim Van Patten, who will direct the first two episodes.
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?
Lars Kepler is a pseudonym for writing partners Alexandra Coelho Ahndoril and Alexander Ahndoril. Kepler is a bestselling thriller author with 10 published crime novels, which have sold 18 million copies globally. The book series is translated into 40 languages and distributed in over 170 territories.
Filming is set to begin this summer in Pittsburgh.
