Prime Video has today given a series order to the original drama series Silent River starring John Krasinski (Jack Ryan) and Emmy Award winner Matthew Rhys (The Americans). An episode count and premiere date window were not immediately announced.
Told through the lens of two men (Krasinski and Rhys) whose lives are far more connected than they realize, the drama will explore the cracks of small-town America in the wake of discovering a serial killer among them.
Aaron Rabin created the drama. He will executive produce with Krasinski, Rhys, Allyson Seeger, Alexa Ginsburg and Andrew Bernstein. Amazon MGM Studios and Sunday Night will produce. Krasinski will also direct the premiere and additional episodes. Bernstein will direct multiple episodes as well.
"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," said Vernon Sanders, Head of Television, Amazon MGM Studios. "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."
