Deadline is reporting that ahead of its January premiere, NBC has retitled its new midseason drama Lincoln. Now titled Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector, the drama series is inspired by Jeffery Deaver’s bestselling book series, which had been previously adapted into the 1999 movie of the same name starring Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie.
Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector premieres Friday, January 10 at 8 PM.
Russell Hornsby will star as Lincoln Rhyme, the role played by Washington in the film, who’s a detective consumed with capturing a notorious serial killer known as the Bone Collector.
Written by VJ Boyd and Mark Bianculli and directed by Seth Gordon, Lincoln follows legendary forensic criminologist Lincoln Rhyme (Hornsby), who was seriously injured during his hunt for the diabolic serial killer known as the Bone Collector. Called back into action when the killer re-emerges, Rhyme forms a unique partnership with Amelia Sachs (Midnight, Texas alum Arielle Kebbel), a young beat cop who helps him hunt the deadly mastermind while also taking on the most high-profile cases in the NYPD. Lincoln Rhyme is a New York City police detective and maverick obsessed with taking down the serial killer known as the Bone Collector.
The series also stars Brían F. O’Byrne (‘Hatton Garden’, ‘The Magicians’), Tate Ellington (‘Quantico’, ‘Shameless’), Courtney Grosbeck (‘Homeland’), Ramses Jimenez (‘Fear the Walking Dead’), Brooke Lyons (‘The Affair’), Roslyn Ruff (‘Madam Secretary’) and Michael Imperioli (‘The Sopranos’).
Boyd and Bianculli executive produce Lincoln with Keshet’s Avi Nir, Alon Shtruzman, Peter Traugott and Rachel Kaplan. Sony Pictures TV and Universal TV produce in association with Keshet Studios.
