Through the lens of two men, whose lives are far more connected than they realize, Silent River explores the cracks of small-town America in the wake of discovering a serial killer among them.
The series is created by fellow Jack Ryan vet Aaron Rabin, who will executive-produce alongside Krasinski, Rhys, Allyson Seeger, Alexa Ginsburg and Andrew Bernstein. Both Krasinski and Bernstein will direct, with Krasinski set to helm the pilot.
“We are thrilled to continue our work with John Krasinski, Allyson Seeger and Sunday Night on this gripping series, which delves into the mysteries and secrets of small-town America,“ Amazon MGM Studios’ head of television Vernon Sanders said in a statement Tuesday. “With John and Matthew Rhys attached to star in this wonderful story from Aaron Rabin, our global customers will be on the edge of their seats throughout this thought-provoking, psychological thriller.”
There’s no word yet on a possible timetable for production (or eventual release). In the meantime, hit the comments and tell us if Silent River sounds up your alley.
