Apple TV+ on Friday premiered “Suspicion,” an eight-episode, heart-pounding drama with Uma Thurman and Noah Emmerich among its stars, based on Keshet’s “False Flag” series and produced by Keshet Productions.
The espionage thriller features Thurman as a prominent American businesswoman whose 21-year-old son is kidnapped from a New York hotel. The suspects appear to be four ordinary British citizens who were at the hotel on the same night and they find themselves caught in a cat-and-mouse race to prove their innocence.
The first two episodes aired Friday, and will be followed by one new episode weekly, every Friday.
“Suspicion” is based on “False Flag,” known in Hebrew as “Kfulim,” created by Keshet International and aired in 2015 on Channel 2.
The Israeli series, currently available on Netflix, revolves around five ordinary Israeli citizens who discover one morning via the media that they are the principal suspects in a high-profile kidnapping.
Filming on “Suspicion” took place in New York and the UK, and was halted in March 2020 due to the coronavirus.
In addition to Thurman and Emmerich (“The Americans”), the ensemble cast for “Suspicion” includes Kunal Nayyar (“The Big Bang Theory”), Georgina Campbell (“Black Mirror”), Elyes Gabel (“Scorpion”), Elizabeth Henstridge (“Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”), Tom Rhys-Harries (“White Lines”) and Angel Coulby (“Dancing on the Edge”).
