Apple TV+ just dropped the official trailer for Echo 3, a new action series from two-time Oscar winner Mark Boal (Best Original Screenplay, Best Picture, The Hurt Locker). The trailer sets up the search for a missing scientist being conducted by her brother and her husband – two men who are especially well-equipped to do what it takes to retrieve her.
Jessica Ann Collins stars as the scientist, Luke Evans plays her brother, and Michiel Huisman is the husband. The series’ cast also includes Martina Gusmán, James Udom, Maria Del Rosario, Alejandro Furth, and Juan Pablo Raba. Bradley Whitford appears as a special guest star.
Mark Boal guides the action series, based on Omri Givon’s When Heroes Fly, as showrunner and executive producer. Givon’s series, inspired by Amir Gutfreund’s novel, aired in 2018 and was nominated for six Israeli Television Academy awards, winning one.
Keshet Studios’ Peter Traugott, Jason Horwitch, Omri Givon, Eitan Mansuri, Jonathan Doweck, Mark Sourian, Avi Nir, Alon Shtruzman, and Karni Ziv are also involved as executive producers. Boal and executive producer Pablo Trapero are the season one directors.
The 10-episode season premieres on November 23, 2022 with the release of the first three episodes. New episodes follow on subsequent Fridays.
The Plot:
Set in South America with English and Spanish dialogue, Echo 3 follows Amber Chesborough (Collins), a brilliant young scientist who is the emotional heart of a small American family. When Amber goes missing along the Colombia-Venezuela border, her brother, Bambi (Evans), and her husband, Prince (Huisman) – two men with deep military experience and complicated pasts – struggle to find her in a layered personal drama, set against the explosive backdrop of a secret war. Echo 3 also stars Gusmán as “Violeta,” a prominent political columnist.
