It has been known since last fall that DC star Joel Kinnaman is taking on the title role in a new thriller series from Amazon Prime Video. A “Fast & Furious” star has now joined the cast.
When the 2011 Marvel film “Thor” was looking for an actor with a Scandinavian touch, the Swedish-American actor Joel Kinnaman was one of the candidates for the title role. However, due to scheduling difficulties, he was unable to complete any test recordings – as is well known, the role ultimately went to Chris Hemsworth.
A few years later he found his way into another comic universe: that of DC. There he played the military leader Rick Flag in “Suicide Squad” and the sequel “The Suicide Squad”. He was even allowed to take up the character again later – with a guest appearance in the series “Peacemaker” in 2025. Kinnaman is also best known for numerous series roles. For example, he was seen in “House Of Cards” from 2019 to 2020, plays a central role in the Apple TV production “For All Mankind” and took on the lead role in the action series “Hanna”, which was released on Amazon Prime Video. And that’s exactly where his next series project is being created.
As has been known since fall 2025, Kinnaman will play the title role in the new police drama “Bishop“. Now another prominent name is joining the cast.
Jordana Brewster joins the cast of ‘Bishop’
As the industry magazines now report unanimously, Jordana Brewster will take on another leading role in “Bishop”.. Many may know the actress from the “Fast & Furious” franchise, in which she has played the sister of Vin Diesel’s character Dominic Toretto since the beginning. In addition, Brewster was seen in the series continuation “Dallas” as well as in horror films such as “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning” and “Heart Eyes – The Couple Killer”.
In “Bishop” she takes on the role of Kat Claiborne, an experienced San Francisco police detective who is tasked with solving the mysterious murder case together with Bishop Graves. Because the brilliant, life-scarred murder detective is on the trail of an elusive serial killer. The perpetrator targets the wealthy elite of San Francisco and his actions are gaining more and more followers among the city’s powerless people. As Bishop pursues the case, he becomes increasingly suspicious that the series of murders is connected to the most powerful man in the city: his own father, Lincoln Graves.
Cult actor John Malkovich (“Being John Malkovich”) takes on this role. And Tarantino star Jennifer Jason Leigh (“The Hateful Eight”) is also part of the ensemble and plays the sister of Malkovich’s character.
It is not yet known when the thriller series will start on Amazon Prime Video. But if you want to experience a hunt for a killer now, you can take a look at the following series, in which Nicole Kidman plays the main role.
