Peacock has released first look photos from the upcoming limited series, Long Bright River, starring Amanda Seyfried (The Dropout, Mamma Mia!), based on Liz Moore’s novel. All 8 episode of the new thriller series will premiere on March 13, 2025.
Written and directed by Nikki Toscano (The Offer, Hunters), the logline reads, ‘Tells the story of Mickey (Amanda Seyfried), a police officer who patrols a Philadelphia neighborhood hard-hit by the opioid crisis. When a series of murders begins in the neighborhood, Mickey realizes that her personal history might be related to the case.”

It also stars Nicholas Pinnock (The Book of Clarence, For Life), Ashleigh Cummings (Citadel, Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries), Callum Vinson (Chucky), and John Doman (The Wire, Borgia). Recurring guest stars include Dash Mihok (Ray Donovan, Wildflower), Britne Oldford (American Horror Story, The Umbrella Academy), Matthew Del Negro (Scandal, City on a Hill), Harriet Sansom Harris (The Agency, Phantom Thread), Patch Darragh (The Apprentice, Succession), and Perry Mattfeld (In The Dark, The Idea of You).
Strap yourself in – ‘cause this is Amanda like you’ve never seen her before – flawed and raw, tarred by guilt and shame and legacy, but never more compelling. She puts every ounce of her soul onto the screen and her performance will break your heart. In fact, all of our cast’s performances – Nicholas, Ashleigh, Callum, and John, among so many others – will grab a hold of you and never let go.
– Creator/Showrunner/Writer/Director/Executive Producer Nikki Toscano
