AMC Networks’ new teaser trailer for Parish finds Giancarlo Esposito (Better Call Saul, The Mandalorian) reciting “The Lord’s Prayer” as scenes of car crashes and buildings on fire flit by in the background. Described as a high-octane drama, the six-episode season is targeting a March 2024 premiere.
Joining Critics Choice Award winner Giancarlo Esposito are Zackary Momoh (The Nevers), Skeet Ulrich (Riverdale), Paula Malcomson (Watchmen), Bonnie Mbuli (Invictus), Ivan Mbakop (Hawkeye), Arica Himmel (Mixed-ish), and Dax Rey (The Good Fight). Emmy winner Bradley Whitford (The West Wing) appears in a recurring role, and SAG nominee Amanda Brugel (The Handmaid’s Tale) guest stars.
“In the series, Esposito stars as Gracian ‘Gray’ Parish, a family man and proud owner of a luxury car service in New Orleans,” reads AMC’s synopsis. “After his son is violently murdered and his business collapses, an encounter with an old friend from his days as a wheelman resurfaces old habits, sending Gray on a high-stakes collision course with a violent criminal syndicate.”
Parish is based on the popular U.K. series The Driver from Danny Brocklehurst and Jim Poyser. Brocklehurst and Poyser are involved as executive producers. Additional executive producers include series star Giancarlo Esposito, Josh Kesselman, Danny Sherman, Barry Jossen, Tana Jamieson, Theo Travers, Scribbler Films’ Jolyon Symonds and David Morrissey, and Red Production’s Nicola Shindler.
Eduardo Javier Canto and Ryan Maldonado guide the series, which was shot on location in New Orleans, as showrunners and executive producers.
