“Mindhunter” star Holt McCallany has joined the already stacked cast of the serial killer thriller ‘Hyde’, playing the lead detective.
“Mindhunter’ star Holt McCallany has joined the cast of the serial killer thriller Hyde, reports Deadline this morning.
Hyde follows Grimes (Camp), a detective who descends into the rotting heart of a decaying metropolis to hunt a serial killer. Greenwood will play the therapist that Grimes is mandated to see, helping him to realize the person he’s chasing may be closer than he imagined.
McCallany joins Bruce Greenwood (“The Fall of the House of Usher” Netflix series), Bill Camp (Salem’s Lot 2024), Nathalie Emmanuel (Game of Thrones) and David Harewood (Homeland).
The actor plays Detective Grimes, a haunted investigator descending into the decaying underbelly of a crumbling metropolis while hunting a brutal serial killer.
Emmanuel, meanwhile, co-stars as Detective Doran, an officer assigned to shadow Grimes, with Greenwood playing Henry Monroe, the therapist Grimes is mandated to see, whose sessions begin to reveal the detective’s troubled past. Harewood plays Robert Malloy, a lieutenant trying to hold an underfunded department together while hoping he can drag Grimes back from the edge.
McCallany has made a living off of playing grizzled authority types, from “Mindhunter” to Nightmare Alley, The Iron Claw and Mission Impossible – The Final Reckoning. When I think “haunted detective”, he’s one of the first faces that comes to mind, so this is perfect casting.
The project hails from directing duo/brothers Graham and Parker Phillips (Rumble Through the Dark).
Producing are Graham and Parker Phillips for Phillips Pictures, Jason Tamasco and Zak Kristofek for Traction and Cassian Elwes. Keith Danko will serve as executive producer.
Production is currently underway.
