Prime Video Orders 'Bishop' Crime Thriller Starring Joel Kinnaman

Little Marvin is showrunner, with the Lincoln Graves role uncast and Kinnaman’s availability still uncertain.

Overview

  • Prime Video gave the series a straight-to-series order on September 11, confirming Kinnaman in the lead role of Detective Bishop Graves.
  • The official logline follows a San Francisco homicide detective hunting a killer targeting the wealthy and suspecting ties to his powerful father, Lincoln Graves.
  • Little Marvin co-created the series with Tony Saltzman and will serve as showrunner, with Vertigo’s Roy Lee and Miri Yoon executive producing for Amazon MGM Studios.
  • The pivotal role of Lincoln Graves has not been cast after summer talks with an A-list actor fell through, and the search is ongoing.
  • Kinnaman’s ability to film the series is unclear as he also leads Apple TV+’s For All Mankind, which has an upcoming fifth season without a set premiere date.
