AT&T’s Audience Network has released the official trailer for upcoming drama Mr. Mercedes and in it, we see that sometimes there’s nothing left to do but take matters into your own hands.
Based on the Stephen King novel of the same name and adapted for television by David E. Kelly (Big Little Lies), Mr. Mercedes tells the story of the cat-and-mouse game between former detective Bill Hodges (Brendan Gleeson) and demented mass murderer Brady Hartsfield (Harry Treadaway). When Hartsfield begins taunting Hodges through a series of letters and emails, Hodges pulls himself out of retirement for one final mission – bring Hartsfield down before he’s able to strike again.
In addition to Gleeson and Treadaway, Mr. Mercedes stars Jharrel Jerome (Moonlight), Scott Lawrence (Avatar), Robert Stanton (Mercury Rising), Ann Cusack (Nightcrawler), Breeda Wool (UnREAL), and Mary-Louise Parker (Weeds).
The series premiere of Mr. Mercedes is set to air Wednesday, August 9th at 8:00 on AT&T’s Audience Network, where it will join a scripted slate that includes Ice and You Me Her. It’s also the second Stephen King adaptation to premiere this summer following Spike’s June debut of The Mist.
