“Manhunt,” now streaming on Apple TV+, is a gripping conspiracy thriller that dives deep into one of history’s most notorious yet enigmatic crimes: the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Adapted from James L. Swanson’s New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award-winning nonfiction book, the seven-part limited series chronicles the intense manhunt for John Wilkes Booth in the wake of Lincoln’s assassination.
The series stars Emmy Award-winning actor Tobias Menzies, known for his roles in “The Crown,” “Game of Thrones,” and “Outlander.” Menzies delivers a riveting performance, bringing to life the high-stakes pursuit and the intricate conspiracy that enveloped the nation. Created by Emmy nominee Monica Beletsky (“Fargo,” “The Leftovers,” “Friday Night Lights”), who also serves as showrunner and executive producer, “Manhunt” is a masterclass in tension and historical intrigue.
Directed by Emmy nominee Carl Franklin (“Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” “One False Move,” “Devil in a Blue Dress”), who helms the first two episodes and also serves as an executive producer, the series is a visual and narrative feast. Franklin’s direction ensures a seamless blend of historical authenticity and thrilling storytelling.
Joining Menzies is a stellar cast, including 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”). Each actor adds depth and nuance to their roles, enhancing the dramatic impact of the series.
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, “Manhunt” is a testament to top-tier production values and meticulous research.
“Manhunt” is a retelling of historical events and an immersive experience that captures the urgency, danger, and complexity of the post-assassination era. It’s a must-watch for history buffs and thriller enthusiasts, offering a fresh perspective on a well-known yet misunderstood chapter of American history.
