Los Angeles, Feb 19 (.) John Malkovich has signed on to appear alongside Joel Kinnaman in the forthcoming crime drama ‘Bishop’.
The series hails from creators Little Marvin and Tony Saltzman, with production overseen by Vertigo Entertainment alongside Amazon MGM Studios, according to DEADLINE.
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).
Little Marvin serves as the showrunner of “Bishop”, which he and Saltzman executive produce alongside Roy Lee and Vertigo’s Miri Yoon. The project stems from Little Marvin’s overall deal at Amazon MGM Studios.
Malkovich, an Emmy winner and two-time Oscar nominee, recently starred in the Apple TV series “The New Look” and was seen in movies “Opus”, “In the Hand of Dante” and “Sacrifice”.
