Silent River is another strong step in your career
Given Krasinski’s focus on thriller TV shows for Prime Video, it’s no surprise to learn the premise of Silent River before production has fully begun. With Rhys’ own connection to Bernstein, who directed two episodes of The AmericansIt looks like the perfect team has been formed to ensure the upcoming show is a success. More details are unlikely until filming begins, but Sunday Night’s extended deal with Amazon highlights how much faith is being placed in the new series.
