- Jensen Ackles stars as Lucas Davenport, a former Minneapolis detective drawn out of seclusion to hunt a serial killer targeting him personally.
- Lucy Fry will play Marcy, a determined BCA Special Agent, while Amanda Brugel will portray Rose Marie, a calculated BCA Superintendent.
- Bruce Terris created the series, serves as showrunner and executive producer, with Daniel Sackheim directing the pilot and second episode.
- The series is produced by MGM Television and Take 5 Productions, with a premiere planned for the U.S. and multiple international markets.

This signals the platform's investment in original, internationally-targeted content to compete in the crowded streaming landscape.
