Based on the novel of the same name, “Long Bright River” features Amanda Seyfried in an all-new on-screen uniform for the Emmy-winning actress.
Seyfried stars as Mickey Fitzpatrick, a Philly beat cop dedicated to solving the mysterious murders targeting young women on the Avenue, many of whom struggle with addiction and turn to sex work to survive. While other men on the force are quick to categorize them as overdoses, Mickey sees something they do not.
The eight-episode limited series attempts to solve both a murder mystery and a family one. As Mickey pieces together evidence to solve the murder mystery, she unveils memories from her own past.
Seyfried stars in the series alongside Nicholas Pinnock, John Doman and Dash Mihok. For a full breakdown on all of the cast of the Peacock series, keep reading.
All episodes of “Long Bright River” are available to stream on Peacock.
