Apple TV+ has set the global premiere date for Manhunt, the new historical true-crime drama limited series starring Tobias Menzies.
Based on Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln’s Killer, the New York Times best-selling and Edgar Award-winning nonfiction book from author James L. Swanson, the limited series Manhunt is a conspiracy thriller about one of the best known but least understood crimes in history: the astonishing story of the hunt for John Wilkes Booth in the aftermath of Abraham Lincoln’s assassination.
The seven-part true-crime drama stars Emmy® Award winner Tobias Menzies (The Crown, Game of Thrones, Outlander). Costarring alongside him are Anthony Boyle (Tetris, The Plot Against America), Lovie Simone (Greenleaf), Will Harrison (Daisy Jones & The Six), Brandon Flynn (13 Reasons Why), Damian O’Hare (Hatfields & McCoys), Glenn Morshower (The Resident), Patton Oswalt (A.P. Bio), Matt Walsh (Veep), and Hamish Linklater (The Big Short).
Manhunt, an Apple TV+ Original, premieres globally with the first two episodes on Friday, March 15, 2024, exclusively on Apple TV+. New episodes will debut weekly on Fridays through April 19, 2024.
Created and showrun by Emmy nominee Monica Beletsky (Fargo, The Leftovers, Friday Night Lights), the series is directed by Emmy nominee Carl Franklin (Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, One False Move, Devil in a Blue Dress) (first two episodes).
The limited series is produced by Apple Studios and co-produced by Lionsgate Television, in association with POV Entertainment, Walden Media, 3 Arts Entertainment, Dovetale Productions, and Monarch Pictures. Beletsky, Franklin, Layne Eskridge, and Kate Barry executive produce, as does author Swanson alongside Michael Rotenberg, Richard Abate, Frank Smith, and Naia Cucukov.
