Apple TV+ debuted the much-anticipated trailer for “Manhunt,” a prospective true crime limited series, during the 2024 Winter Television Critics Association press tour.
The seven-part series, which will premiere globally on March 15, 2024, stars Emmy Award-winning actor Tobias Menzies and is created and showrunner by Monica Beletsky, recognized for her work on “Fargo,” “The Leftovers,” and “Friday Night Lights.”
Adapted from James L. Swanson’s New York Times bestselling book, “Manhunt” dives into the perplexing pursuit of John Wilkes Booth following Abraham Lincoln’s assassination. The series promises to be a compelling conspiracy thriller that delves into one of history’s most renowned yet little-known atrocities.
The ensemble cast includes Anthony Boyle, Lovie Simone, Will Harrison, Brandon Flynn, Damian O’Hare, Glenn Morshower, Patton Oswalt, Matt Walsh, and Hamish Linklater, each contributing to the dynamic portrayal of this historical manhunt.
“Manhunt” was produced by Apple Studios in cooperation with Lionsgate Television, POV Entertainment, Walden Media, 3 Arts Entertainment, Dovetale Productions, and Monarch Pictures. Beletsky, together with executive producers Carl Franklin, Layne Eskridge, and Kate Barry, added their skills to the project. Swanson, who wrote the source material, is also an executive producer, alongside Michael Rotenberg, Richard Abate, Frank Smith, and Naia Cucukov.
The first two episodes are directed by Emmy contender Carl Franklin, setting the tone for a series that promises to be a compelling study of Lincoln’s killer’s 12-day manhunt. As the March 15th debut approaches, “Manhunt” is primed to fascinate audiences with its interesting story and superb ensemble.
