Hulu will exclusively premiere The Killing Kind on Tuesday, May 14. The series is a six-episode adaptation of the thriller novel by acclaimed author Jane Casey.
Nobody understands the dark gap between justice and the law better than Ingrid Lewis. As a successful lawyer, Ingrid is used to dealing with tricky clients, but no one rivals John Webster.
Charming, good-looking, successful, and clever. Webster was accused of coercive control by an ex-girlfriend, and in court, Ingrid successfully defended him, winning the case.
Following the trial, Ingrid got close to Webster, too close, and when she tried to exit the relationship, he turned on her, and her world imploded. Now, just when she is rebuilding her life, he suddenly reappears and tells her that someone is out to kill her and only he can protect her.
Fueled by a need to find out the truth and locked in a game of ‘cat and mouse,’ Ingrid must decide if Webster is Friend or Foe, Murderer or Protector, Stalker or Savior. Can Ingrid discover the truth before it is too late?
The Killing Kind cast includes Emma Appleton (The Witcher, FX’s Pistol), Colin Morgan (The Crown, Humans, Mammals), Elliot Barnes-Worrell, Olivia D’Lima, Kerr Logan (Game of Thrones), Sara Powell, Nicholas Rowe (Rosaline), and Sophie Stanton (The Full Monty).
