‘Long Bright River’: First Images Tease the Amanda Seyfried led Peacock Series!! Check It Out!!

Amanda Seyfried is headed down a Long Bright River in the first images from the upcoming Peacock miniseries. The Mankstar plays a Philadelphia detective on the hunt for a killer. All eight episodes of the series will premiere on the streamer on March 13, 2025. The series, which is adapted from Liz Moore‘s bestselling 2020 crime novel, stars Seyfried as Mickey Fitzpatrick, a Philadelphia police officer whose beat is a neighborhood ravaged by the opioid addiction crisis. Worse, there’s a killer on the loose, and as the bodies start to pile up, she realizes the killer is connected to her own troubled past. Mickey takes a personal interest in the case, which is intensified when her long-estranged sister, who lives on the streets and struggles with addiction, disappears.

The images show off a de-glammed, ponytailed Seyfried in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood (where the series was shot on location) running down the case as she examines bodies, talks to witnesses, and walks the mean streets. Showrunner Nikki Toscano promises that the series features Seyfried “like you’ve never seen her before – 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.” You’ll be able to see for yourself when Long Bright River drops on Peacock this spring.

Moritz, Pavun Shetty, and Amanda Lewis for Original Film; Amy Pascal for Pascal Pictures; and Russell Rothberg.
