Apple TV+ has released the official trailer for “Manhunt,” its upcoming limited series about the high-stakes hunt for assassin John Wilkes Booth.

Tobias Menzies, Anthony Boyle, Lovie Simone, Will Harrison, Brandon Flynn, Damian O’Hare, Glenn Morshower, Matt Walsh, Patton Oswalt and Hamish Linklater co-star.
The series is produced Apple Studios and co-produced by Lionsgate Television, in association with POV Entertainment, Walden Media, 3 Arts Entertainment, Dovetale Productions and Monarch Pictures.
