Mr. Mercedes Cruises in with New Casting News
The cast is filling out for the upcoming adaptation of the Stephen King tale Mr. Mercedes, as Deadline is reporting that “Magic City” alumna Kelly Lynch has landed a key role in AT&T Audience Network’s upcoming drama series.
Based on Stephen King’s 2014 book of the same name, the “Mr. Mercedes” series follows a demented killer who taunts a retired police detective with a series of lurid letters and emails, forcing the ex-cop to undertake a private, and potentially felonious, crusade to bring the killer to justice before he is able to strike again.
David E. Kelley is writing the adaptation, which is being produced by Sonar Entertainment, and Jack Bender (“Lost”) is set to direct. Both executive produce along with Temple Hill Entertainment’s Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey. Lynch will play Deborah Hartsfield, Brady Hartsfield’s (Harry Treadaway) complicated mother. Despite her troubles, Deborah tries to have a normal relationship with her deeply troubled son but is rarely successful.
