YOUR HONOR: Bryan Cranston Joins Showtime Limited Series

Bryan Cranston has signed on to star in (and executive produce) the upcoming limited series YOUR HONOR, it was announced during the Showtime Television Critics Association session.

Per Showtime, YOUR HONOR is “a legal thriller that rips through all strata of New Orleans society. Cranston will star as a respected judge whose son is involved in a hit-and-run that leads to a high-stakes game of lies, deceit and impossible choices. The 10-episode limited series will be executive produced by Emmy nominees Robert and Michelle King (The Good Fight, The Good Wife). Peter Moffat – whose Criminal Justice served as the basis for The Night Of – serves as showrunner, executive producer and will write multiple episodes, including the first episode.”

The drama will go into production later this year in New Orleans.

“Peter, Michelle and Robert have crafted an original thriller with gut-wrenching suspense, raw emotion and moral complexity,” Gary Levine, President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks Inc said in a statement. “And we are simply ecstatic that Bryan Cranston, one of the planet’s finest actors, shares our enthusiasm and has agreed to play the lead. I can’t wait to shoot YOUR HONOR and show it to the world!”
