All eyes are on a brand-new historical drama that Apple TV+ will launch this month on 15th of march. Manhunt is the main focus of Apple TV+ that’s what it looks like.
You believe you understand how Abraham Lincoln was killed. The problem is, there’s more attention paid to the reasons behind Lincoln’s death than to the pursuit of the murderer. John Wilkes Booth was eventually apprehended, although it wasn’t an easy capture immediately following the murder.
How did everything work out?
In the Apple TV+ series, that’s what we learn. We follow Edwin Stanton’s investigation into the murder. Stanton’s role as Secretary of War was not the only one. In addition, he was Lincoln’s friend, and he would do whatever it took to find the truth.
Who’s on Apple TV+’s Manhunt?
Playing Edwin Stanton will be Tobias Menzies. This is a fantastic opportunity to witness Menzies become the lead role in the series. Although he was more of an ensemble cast member in The Crown, you could still consider him the male lead there.
John Wilkes Booth will be portrayed by Anthony Boyle. His role as Scorpius Malfoy in the Broadway adaptation of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is well-known to many.
