Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan), Stephen Graham (Adolescence) and Zazie Beetz (Atlanta) are set to star in an Apple TV+ series based on the internationally bestselling Joona Linna crime novels by Lars Kepler.
Written by BAFTA Award-winner Rowan Joffe (Tin Man) and John Hlavin (Shooter), with Emmy/Peabody/DGA Award winner Tim Van Patten set to direct the first two episodes, the untitled 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.

'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,' the official synopsis tells us. '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?'
Joffe and Hlavin will serve as showrunners on the yet-to-be-titled series and executive-produce alongside Van Patten, Schreiber, Beetz, author Lars Kepler, Oystein Karlsen, David Rysdahl, Dorothy Fortenberry and Niclas Salomonsson.
Filming is set to begin this summer in Pittsburgh.
