Black Bird — Official Trailer | Apple TV+

When serving time, you’ll do anything for a chance at freedom — even if that means facing a suspected killer. Stream Black Bird now on Apple TV When high school football hero and decorated policeman’s son Jimmy Keene (Taron Egerton) is sentenced to 10 years in a minimum security prison, he is given the choice of a lifetime — enter a maximum-security prison for the criminally insane and befriend suspected serial killer Larry Hall (Paul Walter Hauser), or stay where he is and serve his full sentence with no possibility of parole. Keene quickly realizes his only way out is to elicit a confession and find out where the bodies of several young girls are buried before Hall’s appeal goes through. But is this suspected killer telling the truth? Or is it just another tale from a serial liar? This dramatic and captivating story subverts the crime genre by enlisting the help of the very people put behind bars to solve its mysteries. Inspired by true events, Dennis Lehane’s newest Apple Original Series stars Taron Egerton and Paul Walter Hauser. Ensemble cast also includes Sepideh Moafi, Greg Kinnear and Ray Liotta. Black Bird is developed and executive produced by Lehane. The first three episodes are directed by Academy Award nominee Michaël R.
