With little over a week now before ABC’s new supernatural serial ‘The River’ kicks off and now a brand new still and a fresh TV spot have been revealed. The Oren Peli (‘Paranormal Activity’) created series arrives early next month with the pilot, directed by ‘The Orphan’ helmer Jaume Collet-Serra, and starring Paul Blackthorne, Joe Anderson (‘The Crazies’) and Eloise Mumford (‘Lone Star’), Thomas Kretschmann, Bruce Dern, Leslie Hope, Bruce Greenwood and Daniel Zacapa. Check out the new still and TV spot below!
“Famed explorer Dr. Emmet Cole (Bruce Greenwood) went looking for magic deep in the uncharted Amazon and never returned. The shocking truth about his disappearance is out there, somewhere, just waiting to be discovered. To the millions of kids who grew up watching his nature show, Dr. Cole was a hero. To his own son, Lincoln (Joe Anderson), he was more of an enigma. Now, six months after he vanished, Lincoln is finally ready to bury the past when Dr. Cole’s emergency beacon suddenly goes off. At the urging of his mother, Tess (Leslie Hope), Lincoln reluctantly joins her on a search for his father. To fund the rescue, they agree to let Dr. Cole’s cagey ex-producer, Clark (Paul Blackthorne), film the mission documentary-style. The mixed crew of old friends and new acquaintances includes the sexy and resourceful Lena (Eloise Mumford), loyal mechanic Emilio (Daniel Zacapa) and lethal bodyguard Captain Kurt Brynildson (Thomas Kretschmann).”
‘The River’ premieres on Tuesday 7 February at 9:00pm.
