Bill Camp is the latest addition to the cast of Apple TV+‘s upcoming series based on Lars Kepler’s Joona Linna books.
Camp joins previously announced cast members Liev Schreiber, Zazie Beetz, and Stephen Graham in the drama project, which was first reported to be in development in 2023 and officially picked up in May for 10 episodes. Production will begin this summer in Pittsburgh.
The official description of the untitled series states:
“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?”
Camp will play Chief Ellison, the police chief.
The role brings Camp back to Apple, as he previously appeared in Season 1 of the hit legal drama “Presumed Innocent.” Camp is also known for his role in the HBO series “The Night Of,” for which he earned an Emmy nomination, as well as for roles in shows like “The Queen’s Gambit,” “The Leftovers,” and “The Outsider.” Camp has starred in films such as “The Killing of a Sacred Deer,” “Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance),” and “12 Years a Slave.”
