Brandon Flynn, Patton Oswalt Come On Board For Apple Series 'Manhunt'

바카라˜13 Reasons Why바카라™ star Brandon Flynn and actor Patton Oswalt have joined the cast of 바카라˜Manhunt바카라™, a new true-crime series from streamer Apple TV Plus.

The show, created by writer/producer Monica Beletsky, will take audiences into the aftermath of Abraham Lincoln바카라™s assassination. 바카라˜The Crown바카라™ star Tobias Menzies leads the cast along with Lovie Simone and Matt Walsh.

According to Deadline, Flynn and Oswalt joined the series along with Betty Gabriel, Will Harrison, Hamish Linklater, Damian O바카라™Hare and Lili Taylor.

바카라˜Manhunt바카라™ is a true-crime series based on the astonishing events of the Lincoln assassination, its aftermath and the best-selling book 바카라˜Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase For Lincoln바카라™s Killer바카라™ by James Swanson.

Menzies will play Edwin Stanton, Lincoln's War Secretary and friend, who was driven nearly to madness by the need to catch assassin John Wilkes Booth. Flynn will play the role of Eddie Stanton Jr., a war department clerk and son of Edwin Stanton. Oswalt has been cast as Detective Lafayette Baker, a war department investigator.

The series, part historical fiction, part conspiracy thriller, will take audiences into the aftermath of the first American Presidential assassination and the fight to preserve and protect the ideals that were the foundation of Lincoln's Reconstruction plans--issues that reverberate into the present day.

The show strongly features Black historical figures whose lives intertwined with the escape, manhunt, and subsequent high-crimes investigation, including Mary Simms, a former slave of the doctor who treated Booth's injury and gave him safe harbour after his crime.

바카라˜Manhunt바카라™ will be produced by Apple Studios, and co-produced by Lionsgate, in association with POV Entertainment, Walden Media, and 3 Arts Entertainment.

Beletsky, who is best known for her work on 바카라˜Fargo바카라™ and 바카라˜Leftovers바카라™, will serve as the showrunner and executive producer.
