The Emmy winner and two-time Oscar nominee will star with Joel Kinnaman in the series, which centers on a San Francisco detective (Kinnaman) tracking a serial killer. The show comes from co-creators Little Marvin (Prime Video’s Them) and Tony Saltzman (Them, Dexter: Resurrection). The logline for Bishop reads, “Homicide detective Bishop Graves (Kinnaman) — brilliant, battle-scarred — will put all of his skills to the test in the hunt for an elusive killer targeting San Francisco’s moneyed class. As this increasingly audacious killer develops a devoted following among the city’s powerless, Bishop becomes convinced these murders connect back to SF’s most powerful man, his own father, Lincoln Graves (Malkovich).” Related Stories TV 'Spider-Noir' Trailer: First Look at Nicolas Cage's Dark Take on Spider-Man and Premiere Date TV 'Off Campus' Renewed for Season 2 Ahead of First Season Premiere at Amazon Prime Video Malkovich is currently working on season two of Apple TV’s Bad Monkey, starring Vince Vaughn.
