Long Bright River is a suspense thriller series that 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.
Adapted from Long Bright River by Liz Moore.
Our take
Nikki Toscano, creator of The Offer, and Amanda Seyfried, the Emmy winning actress for the miniseries The Dropout, join forces to bring Liz Moore’s novel to the screen, delving into the seedy alleys of Philadelphia. In the guise of a whodunit, Long Bright River is an unflinching portrayal of a broken America, and a powerful tale of two sisters, scarred by life and torn apart by tragic circumstances.
