Ben Hardy Cast in Amazon Series Stillwater Based on Graphic Novel

Amazon Prime Video has greenlit an eight-episode series adaptation of the Skybound graphic novel 'Stillwater', with Ben Hardy set to star in the lead role. The show is a mind-bending horror thriller that focuses on ex-con Daniel West, who receives a mysterious letter promising answers about his past and a substantial inheritance in the small town of Stillwater.

The official logline describes Stillwater as a community where nothing ever ages, no one ever dies, and nobody ever gets out. This eerie atmosphere has led Greg Berlanti and Carly Wray to praise Ben Hardy's casting, saying 'There's a toughness to him, but also something incredibly open and soulful underneath it.' They are thrilled to get to tell this story together.

Berlanti and Wray co-wrote the pilot episode and executive produce alongside a team of experienced producers from Skybound Entertainment. The series will be produced by Warner Bros. Television and Amazon MGM Studios.
