Luke Evans, Michiel Huisman, and Jessica Ann Collins star in Apple TV+’s new action thriller, Echo 3, premiering on Wednesday, November 23, 2022. The series, which comes from Oscar winner Mark Boal (The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty), involves the search for a missing scientist, played by Collins.
“I’m honored to collaborate with the team at AppleTV+ who gave me the opportunity to make the series I wanted to make – one that feels big and purposeful and refuses to stay in any lane,” stated Boal. “This is a black-ops thriller and tale of international intrigue, set in Colombia, a country I had known only from afar and immediately fell in love with.”
Mark Boal shot the series in Columbia and serves as showrunner and executive producer. Additional executive producers include Keshet Studios’ Peter Traugott, Jason Horwitch, Omri Givon, Eitan Mansuri, Jonathan Doweck, Mark Sourian, Avi Nir, Alon Shtruzman, and Karni Ziv. Boal and executive producer Pablo Trapero are the season one directors.
The premiere date announcement was accompanied by the first photos from the action series which is based on Omri Givon’s When Heroes Fly. Givon’s series, inspired by Amir Gutfreund’s novel, aired in 2018 and was nominated for six Israeli Television Academy awards, winning one.
In addition to Luke Evans, Michiel Huisman, and Jessica Ann Collins, the series’ cast includes Martina Gusman, James Udom, Maria Del Rosario, Alejandro Furth, Juan Pablo Raba, and Bradley Whitford.
