Netflix Is Releasing This Surprising Miniseries Based On A Popular Crime Novel; Major 'Breaking Bad' Star Is On Board!
Giancarlo Esposito joins the extensive cast of Netflix's crime thriller All the Sinners Bleed, promising an intriguing storyline and complex characters.
Netflix has significantly expanded the cast of the crime thriller All the Sinners Bleed. The miniseries adds Giancarlo Esposito to an already impressive lineup. It is based on the novel by S.A. Cosby and developed by Joe Robert Cole, known for works like Black Panther.
The lead role goes to Sope Dirisu (i]Gangs of London[/i]), who plays Titus Crown, the first black sheriff in conservative Charon County, Virginia. One year into his tenure, a deadly school shooting leads to a grim investigation. As Titus tries to regain control of the situation, he discovers that a serial killer has been active for years, choosing victims within the black community under religious pretexts.
It was previously announced that Nicole Beharie, Daniel Ezra, John Douglas Thompson, Andrea Cort25, Murray Bartlett, and Leila George will also participate. Eleven more names are now added, with Giancarlo Esposito being the most notable addition in the role of Ezekiel Wiggins. Additionally, David Lyons, Donald Elise Watkins, Mackenzie Astin, Jordan M. Cox, and Cullen Moss are introduced as local agents or town residents.
All the Sinners Bleed is an adaptation of Cosby’s namesake book. The series is produced by Higher Ground Productions (from Barack and Michelle Obama), in collaboration with Amblin Television. Joe Robert Cole serves as showrunner and director for several episodes, including the first.
Set against the backdrop of the Deep South of the United States, the series depicts Titus grappling not only with the dark history of his town but also with personal traumas and political tensions, including a far-right group wanting to hold a parade in honor of the Confederacy.
