Uma Thurman To Star In Appletv Kidnapping Series Suspicion

Uma Thurman To Star In AppleTV+ Kidnapping Series ‘Suspicion’

In a press release, AppleTV+ explains the premise of the new Uma Thurman-starring series:

I’d like to think Thurman programmed a Harrison Ford movie marathon, finished it, and thought to herself, “I can do that.” Ford’s career has been full of paranoia thrillers, and I’m excited to see Thurman have the chance to put her own spin on something like Frantic. She’s been relatively quiet since appearing in both parts of Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac back in 2013, popping up in a handful of small movies and two TV shows I’ve never heard of: Bravo’s Imposters and the short-lived Netflix series Chambers.

“Suspicion” is a high-paced thriller about the kidnapping of the son of a prominent American businesswoman, played by Uma Thurman. Twenty-one year-old Leo’s abduction from a large, upmarket hotel in central New York is captured on video and goes viral. Swiftly, four British citizens staying at the hotel become the prime suspects. But are they guilty of anymore than being in the wrong place at the wrong time?

But Thurman is not the only one who’s already signed on to this series. The actress will be joined by The Big Bang Theory’s Kunal Nayyar, The Americans’ Noah Emmerich, Georgina Campbell (Black Mirror, Krypton, Broadchurch), Elyes Gabel (Scorpion, Body of Proof, Game of Thrones), Elizabeth Henstridge (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Wolves at the Door), and Angel Coulby (Merlin, Thunderbirds Are Go).
