Joel Kinnaman's New Prime Video Crime Series Gets New Story Tease From Star

Published Nov 9, 2026, 5:34 PM EST Adam has been writing in the entertainment news space for over a decade. Beginning his career of covering film and TV at CinemaBlend, he has also appeared on The Flash Podcast and done several radio spots. EXCLUSIVE: One of Joel Kinnaman’s co-stars on the upcoming Prime Video series Bishop has teased what viewers can expect from this crime genre offering. In September 2025, it was announced that Kinnaman, the star of TV shows like The Killing and For All Mankind, would lead Bishop as the titular protagonist, Bishop Graves. This mystery drama hails from Them duo Little Marvin and Tony Saltzman, with the former serving as showrunner. In addition to being joined by fellow series regulars like John Malkovich and Jennifer Jason Leigh, Kinnaman will share screen time with Jennifer Beals of Flashdance fame. CBS In an interview with ScreenRant's Adam Holmes for NCIS: New York, Beals, who appears in the CBS procedural as Robyn Wells, addressed her recurring role as Maggie Loftin in Bishop. The actor said the following when asked about what her experience was like working with Kinnaman, Malkovich, and the rest of the cast: Oh my gosh, that show is amazing. Little Marvin, who's the showrunner, is a genius. It's incredible, and John Malkovich, the part that he plays, I cannot wait to see that. Joel Kinnaman is an incredible scene partner. He's so present and so generous. [The show is] really interrogating this darkness of the soul and how to find the light. Bishop follows Kinnaman’s Bishop Graves, a San Francisco homicide detective, hunting down a serial killer who’s targeting the California city’s wealthy elite. This results in the “increasingly audacious killer” developing a following among the lower-class citizens, while Bishop becomes convinced that the murders are connected to San Francisco’s most powerful man, Malkovich’s Lincoln Graves, i.e. his own father. Beals’ Loftin is a psychologist who works at the San Francisco Police Department, but no other details about the character have been revealed yet. Leigh stars in Bishop as Jillian Graves, Lincoln’s sister and Bishop’s aunt, while the rest of the main cast includes Jordana Brewster as SFPD inspector Kat Claiborne, Harry Treadaway as Wyatt, and Xavier Samuel as Anthony "Ant" Graves. The show’s other recurring actors include Bronson Pinchot, Ron Lea, Kaniehtiio Horn, Hunter Dillon, Dillon Casey, and Ulrich Thomsen, among others. Rick Hoffman, Rob Yang, and John Larroquette are all set as guest stars. Scratch & Peek Identify the cover art while scratching off as little foil as possible.
