THR reports that Beetz will star alongside Liev Schreiber and Stephen Graham in the series, which sees a homicide detective face off against a serial killer, with Beetz’s FBI agent providing help. The show still lacks an official title, but it adapts the “Joona Linna” nordic noir book series by Kepler, the pen name of married couple Alexandra Coelho Ahndoril and Alexander Ahndoril.  Tom Hardy was originally supposed to star as the show’s killer when Apple first announced it in February 2023, but now Graham has the part.
Here’s an official synopsis for the series, courtesy of Apple TV+:
Jonah Lynn (Schreiber), an ex-soldier turned homicide detective, 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?
Rowan Joffe and John Hlavin serve as showrunners on the series, and will adapt the “Joona Linna” books together. Also on board: “The Sopranos” and “Masters Of The Air” director Tim Van Patten, who will helm the show’s first two episodes. Joffe and Hlavin will also serve as executive producers with Kepler, Shcrieber, Beetz, Oystein Karlsen, David Rysdahl, Dorothy Fortenberry, and Niclas Salomonsson.  Julie Herrin is also a co-executive producer. The seres will be an A+E Studios production, in association with Range Studios.
Recent work for Schreiber includes Netflix‘s “The Perfect Couple” and Darren Aronofsky‘s upcoming crime pic “Caught Stealing.” Beetz was in “Joker: Folie a Deux” last year and stars next in “The Dutchman” and Gore Verbinski‘s “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die.” Graham starred in Netflix’s super-buzzy “Adolescence” earlier this year and has a supporting role in the upcoming Bruce Springsteen biopic “Deliver Me From Nowhere.”
Stay tuned for if this iteration of Apple’s Kepler series moves forward.
