Apple and A&E Studios are working on an untitled series based on the Lars Kepler novels, starring Liev Schreiber ( The Perfect Couple , Ray Donovan ), Zazie Beetz ( Atlanta , Deadpool 2 ), and Stephen Graham ( Adolescence , Boardwalk Empire ). Rowan Joffe and John Hlavin will co-showrun the project and executive produce alongside Tim Van Patten, who will direct the first two episodes.

But, as the town and his family come under attack from the diabolically cunning serial killer Jurek Walter (Graham), Jonah must protect all that he holds dear. When the desperate search for Jurek's last missing victim forces Jonah to send his adopted daughter, FBI Agent Saga Bauer (Beetz), up against Jurek, how far will Jonah go? Lars Kepler is a pseudonym for writing partners Alexandra Coelho Ahndoril and Alexander Ahndoril. Kepler is a bestselling thriller author with 10 published crime novels, which have sold 18 million copies globally.

Clip of Actress Arabella Stanton in Acting Class Has HARRY POTTER Fans Convinced She'll Be a Perfect Hermione — GeekTyrant

Last week, it was revealed that the upcoming Warner Bros. HBO series based on the Harry Potter book series had found its young lead actors. It was announced that Dominic McLaughlin will take up the iconic round glasses and lightning scar as Harry Potter; Arabella Stanton steps into the brilliant, bold shoes of Hermione Granger; and Alastair Stout rounds out the trio as Ron Weasley. While these three kids are new to us now, they will likely become household names as the show continues, just as the actors who took on the roles in the films. But because they are newcomers, we don't have anything to verify that they are good for the role yet, aside from the fact that they were chosen from tons of others in a very selective process. It's a wait and see situation, for the most part, with one exception. A new clip has surfaced on Reddit, which shows actress Arabella Stanton in a scene from her acting class, which has Hermione Granger written all over it. Check it out at the link, and get ready to dive back into the world of Hogwarts on the HBO series, coming to our screens in 2026.
