Academy Award nominee Uma Thurman will star in a new drama series for Apple TV+.
The Pulp Fiction icon will play the lead in Suspicion, a thriller which follows a prominent American businesswoman whose 21-year-old son gets kidnapped from an upmarket hotel.
His abduction is caught on camera and goes viral online, with four British guests at the hotel quickly becoming prime suspects.
Suspicion will also star Noah Emmerich (The Americans), Elizabeth Henstridge (Agents of SHIELD), Kunal Nayyar (The Big Bang Theory), Georgina Campbell (His Dark Materials), Elyes Gabel (Scorpion) and Angel Coulby (Merlin).
The series is a remake of an award-winning Israeli series titled False Flag, created by Maria Feldman and Amit Cohen.
