USA Network’s upcoming crime thriller Eyewitness has found its murderous male lead in Chicago Fire actor Warren Christie, TVLine has learned.
Adapted from the Norwegian drama Øyevitne, the series explores a grisly crime from the perspective of those who saw it happen. Christie will co-star as Ryan Kane, who, after committing a series of passion-fueled murders, will do anything possible to escape detection. As he hunts for the two eyewitnesses and attempts to mislead Sheriff Helen Torrance, a sinister game of cat-and-mouse ensues.
Christie — whose TV credits also include Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce, Motive and Alphas — joins the previously cast Julianne Nicholson, James Paxton, Tyler Young and Gil Bellows.
