Mad Men alum Jon Hamm and producer Shawn Ryan (S.W.A.T., The Night Agent) are teaming on a live-action television series adaptation of the podcast American Hostage, with Hamm set to reprise his role from the audio series, Deadline has confirmed.
American Hostage is described as a “psychological thriller that tells the harrowing true story of Fred Heckman, a beloved Indianapolis radio reporter who is thrust into the middle of a life-or-death crisis when hostage-taker, Tony Kiritsis, demands to be interviewed on his popular radio news program.”
Hamm will reprise his podcast role as Heckman.
Ethan, Abi and Sam are best friends from uni, soulmates for life, and dysfunctional roommates. It’s been a year since the trio finally managed to move to London, but they have collectively accomplished nothing and now their landlord is selling up.
One soul sacrifices everything for others.
Another clings fiercely to their own happiness.
Their confrontation lays bare old wounds and grudges spanning three generations. Love and hatred intertwine, turning family into a battlefield where vengeance burns hotter than the sun.
一个灵魂为他人牺牲一切。
另一个则紧紧抓住自己的幸福。
他们的对抗暴露了跨越三代人的旧伤和怨恨。爱与恨交织在一起,把家庭变成了复仇比太阳还炽热的战场。
