EXCLUSIVE: Jennifer Beals (The L Word; Book of Boba Fett) has joined the cast of Bishop, Prime Video‘s upcoming thriller drama series from co-creators Little Marvin and Tony Saltzman, Vertigo, and Amazon MGM Studios.
In a recurring role, Beals will play Maggie Loftin, a psychologist with the San Francisco Police Department.
In Bishop, homicide detective Bishop Graves (Joel Kinnaman) – brilliant, battle-scarred – will put all of his skills to the test in the hunt for an elusive killer targeting San Francisco’s moneyed class. As this increasingly audacious killer develops a devoted following among the city’s powerless, Bishop becomes convinced these murders connect back to SF’s most powerful man, his own father, Lincoln Graves (John Malkovich).
In addition to Kinnaman and Malkovich, Bishop also stars Jennifer Jason Leigh as Jillian Graves, Lincoln Graves’ sister, and aunt to Bishop Graves; Jordana Brewster as Kat Claiborne, a seasoned inspector at the San Francisco Police Department; Harry Treadaway as Wyatt; and Xavier Samuel as Anthony ‘Ant’ Graves, Bishop Graves younger brother. Ulrich Thomsen and Erik Svedberg-Zelman will also appear in recurring roles. Guest stars include John Larroquette and Rob Yang.
Little Marvin serves as the showrunner of Bishop, which he and Saltzman executive produce alongside Roy Lee and Vertigo’s Miri Yoon. The project stems from Little Marvin’s overall deal at Amazon MGM Studios. Felicia Fasano is the casting director.
Beals is repped by CAA, Constellation Media Group, and Felker McGinnis & Ryan LLP.
