Ethan Hawke will star in and executive produce the limited series “The Whites” which is currently in development at Showtime.
Based on the Richard Price novel, the story begins with the idea that every detective is haunted by their White Whale, the perpetrator who got away because the justice system failed.
Billy Graves (Hawke), once a rising star in his department and former member of a group of well-respected cops called the ‘Wild Geese,’ walks away from NYPD Homicide and joins the Nightwatch division, where his cases end when he clocks out.
His past comes calling when a seemingly straightforward murder case involving a White Whale unfolds, threatening his career, enduring friendships, and family.
Tony Award-winner Jez Butterworth (“Ford v. Ferrari,” “Spectre”) will write and executive produce. Hawke previously starred in Showtime’s “The Good Lord Bird” and was most recently seen in the Disney+ series “Moon Knight”.
