Stephen Graham is now part of the ensemble for a fresh detective television show, derived from the Joona Linna books written by Lars Kepler.

As reported by Deadline, the currently unnamed project is set to focus on the character of Jonah Lynn, a former soldier transitioning into a role as a homicide detective. In search of a tranquil lifestyle, he moves from bustling Philadelphia to a peaceful location in Western Pennsylvania.
