Ben Hardy Cast in Amazon's 'Stillwater' Horror Thriller Series
Ben Hardy will star in Amazon Prime Video's upcoming horror thriller series 'Stillwater', based on the Skybound graphic novel of the same name. The one-hour series, developed as a mind-bending horror thriller by Greg Berlanti and Carly Wray, is set to consist of eight episodes.
The story follows Daniel West, played by Ben Hardy, an ex-con who receives a mysterious letter promising answers about his past and a substantial inheritance. He leads him to the small town of Stillwater, where he discovers a community with unusual rules: its residents do not age, no one dies, and nobody can leave.
Hardy is known for his film roles in 'The Conjuring: Last Rites', 'Bohemian Rhapsody', '6 Underground', 'Only the Brave' and 'X-Men: Apocalypse'. His television credits include 'The Girl Before', 'The Woman in White' and 'EastEnders.'
Greg Berlanti and Carly Wray said they had been fans of Hardy's work and were pleased to cast him as Daniel, noting that the character requires both toughness and emotional depth.
