You: Season 2’s plot synopsis: based on the novel by Caroline Kepnes, “Joe Goldberg (Badgley) moves from New York to Los Angeles to escape his past and starts over with a new identity. Fresh out of an intense relationship that ended in murder, the last thing he expects is to meet an incredible new woman, but he’s falling in love again — with a woman named Love (Pedretti). Is history repeating? Or will this time be the real thing? Joe’s just crazy enough to risk finding out.”

When Rebel applies herself to a fight she believes in, she will win at almost any cost.”

Apple TV+

In With the Devil

Taron Egerton has been cast as author James Keene in In With the Devil.

Paul Walter Hauser is in talks to be cast as the suspected serial killer.

Dennis Lehane wrote the screenplay for the Michael R. Roskam-directed mini-series.

In With the Devil‘s plot synopsis: based on the memoir by James Keene, “Keene was a young Chicago kid who was a standout football player headed for a pro career when a few turns in the wrong direction caught him a decade-long prison sentence with no chance of parole. The son of a Chicago cop was offered by the prosecutor who put him behind bars the chance to be sprung from prison and a chance to redeem himself. The stakes were high. Same prosecutor convicted a man named Larry Hall for abducting and killing a 15-year-old, just one of perhaps 19 other women he killed. The killer could be released on appeal. Keene’s task was to ingratiate himself with the murderer, in prison, and get him to confess to two murders.”

Amazon Prime Video

Prodigal Son

Alan Cumming has been cast as Simon Hoxley, “a supremely confident and cocky Europol agent known as “The MindSleuth” (which also happens to be the title of his autobiography). Considered one of the most celebrated criminal profilers in the world, he travels to New York to solve the murder of Nicholas Endicott… which puts Malcolm Bright (Payne) in his crosshairs.”

ABC

Big Sky

Ted Levine has been cast as Horst Kleinsasser, who has run a “ranch empire for decades with a petty ruthlessness, buying up failing ranches, making deals, expanding his grip on the small, rural Lochsa County. He’s set up his children to compete and screw each other over. This once-powerful man has suffered a stroke and can only whisper, and knows he has to pass the ranch throne on to one of his children.”

Kyle Schmid has been cast as John Wayne Kleinsasser, who is “second-born and angry. The sort of guy who drives a Ford King Ranch with an NRA decal. He clings to the old ways of the ranch with a ferocity and forcefulness. John Wayne has used his father’s illness to grab the reins of the ranch and steer it away from his brother Blake, the eldest son who turned his back on the family years ago.”

Big Sky‘s plot synopsis: based on the book by C.J. Box, “In the procedural thriller, private detective Cassie Dewell partners with ex-cop Jenny Hoyt (Winnick) on a search for two sisters who have been kidnapped by a truck driver on a remote highway in Montana. When they discover that these are not the only girls who have disappeared in the area, they must race against the clock to stop the killer before another woman is taken.”

David E. Kelley wrote the screenplays for Big Sky.
