About ‘Black Bird’
Football hero and cop’s son Jimmy Keene (Taron Egerton) is living the good life when he’s arrested for drug and firearm possession. Facing ten years in jail with no chance for parole, he’s given a chance at redemption and a way out. Sent to an institution for the criminally insane, Keene must befriend Larry Hall (Paul Walter Hauser) and get him to confess to a series of murders before the killer has a chance to make parole. Now Keene must navigate the deadly minefield of a maximum-security prison while trying to discern if Hall is telling lies or truly is a monster.
Black Bird
As Jimmy Keene begins a 10-year prison sentence, he gets an incredible offer: If he can elicit a confession from suspected killer Larry Hall, Jimmy will be freed. Completing this mission becomes the challenge of a lifetime.
Based on the autobiographical novel “In With The Devil: A Fallen Hero, A Serial Killer, and A Dangerous Bargain for Redemption” by James Keene, the six-episode limited series was adapted by Dennis Lehane of “Mystic River” and “The Wire” fame. Along with Egerton and Hauser, the show also stars Greg Kinnear as Brian Miller, Sepideh Moafi as Lauren McCauley, and the late Ray Liotta as Jimmy Keene’s father, Big Jim Keene. The first two episodes of Season 1 will be released on Friday, July 8 with the remaining episodes arriving on Apple TV+ each Friday until the finale on August 5.
