Jordana Brewster bags 'Bishop' drama series
Los Angeles, March 13
Actor Jordana Brewster will be seen in a key role in Prime Video's series 'Bishop'.
Joel Kinnaman, John Malkovich and Jennifer Jason Leigh also feature in Bishop, Prime Video's upcoming thriller drama series from co-creators Little Marvin and Tony Saltzman, Vertigo and Amazon MGM Studios, Deadline reported.
In Bishop, homicide detective Bishop Graves (Kinnaman) - brilliant, battle-scarred - will put all of his skills to the test in the hunt for an elusive killer targeting San Francisco's moneyed class. As this increasingly audacious killer develops a devoted following among the city's powerless, Bishop becomes convinced these murders connect back to SF's most powerful man, his own father, Lincoln Graves (Malkovich).
Brewster will essay the role of Kat Claiborne, a seasoned inspector at the San Francisco Police Department. Leigh plays Lincoln Graves' sister, and aunt to Bishop.
Little Marvin serves as showrunner of Bishop, which he and Saltzman executive produce alongside Roy Lee and Vertigo's Miri Yoon.

John Malkovich and Joel Kinnaman together? That's a solid cast. The premise is interesting - the killer getting a following among the powerless. Reminds me of some real-world dynamics, honestly. Hope the writing does justice to such a theme.
Another crime thriller set in San Francisco. Don't get me wrong, the cast is great, but sometimes I wish streaming platforms would invest in original stories from other parts of the world too. We have so many compelling narratives here in India that could use this level of production. Just a thought! 🙏
Good to see Jordana Brewster getting a key role. She was great in the Fast & Furious series. The father-son conflict with Malkovich and Kinnaman sounds intense. Will definitely add this to my watchlist. Hope the pacing is good!
The concept of the killer developing a 'devoted following' is very relevant in today's social media age. Could be a sharp commentary if handled well. Fingers crossed it's more than just a standard procedural. Weekend binge material, maybe! 😄
