Liz Moore\u2019s breathtakingly beautiful story about a patrol cop on the hunt for her missing younger sister in the midst of a series of murders in Kensington, Philadelphia was as compelling in its family drama as it was in its murder mystery. I immediately knew it was something I wanted to take a crack at translating to screen with Liz. The challenge of adapting this moving love story between two sisters as it elegantly weaves between the past and the present was thrilling, particularly as the history of this family\u2019s past holds a critical key in solving the murder\/mystery that unfolds in the present. Equally compelling was the sense of place Liz brought to her novel which I was excited about translating to screen, both as a writer and as a director.  <\/em><\/p>\n<p>But perhaps what drew me in the most was the possibility of what this show could achieve in its ambition to upend stereotypes: of those born into poverty and addiction, of those engaging in sex work, of those who have been written off or marginalized after they\u2019ve seemingly fallen through the cracks of their community, and finally, of those engaged in police work. In fact, what makes Long Bright River so unique as a series is that it aims to deconstruct the \u201cpolice as savior\u201d narrative \u2014 a journey pulled through our protagonist, Mickey Fitzpatrick, played by Amanda Seyfried. <\/p>\n<p>Strap yourself in \u2013 \u2018cause this is Amanda like you\u2019ve never seen her before \u2013 flawed and raw, tarred by guilt and shame and legacy, but never more compelling. She puts every ounce of her soul onto the screen and her performance will break your heart. In fact, all of our cast\u2019s performances \u2013 Nicholas, Ashleigh, Callum, and John, among so many others \u2013 will grab a hold of you and never let go. And that passion and commitment is just as true of the performances that happened offscreen, from our line producer Jerry Kupfer to our writer\/executive producer Russell Rothberg on set to our entirely female gang of directors that I was lucky to be a part of to our post team led by Matt Barber, and every member of our incredible and dedicated crew. We hope that Long Bright River will make the same indelible mark on you as it has made on us \u2013 and that it\u2019s a story that stays with you long after the final frame has rolled.  <\/p>\n<p>Thank you so much for watching.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v3.2&appId=145071315902360\"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/2025\/02\/20\/amanda-seyfrieds-long-bright-river-trailer-teases-a-big-police-mystery-with-some-personal-history-watch-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The trailer for Amanda Seyfried\u2018s limited series Peacock drama, Long Bright River, has just debuted online.
