AT&T’s Audience Network will shut down this year. And today, we have word that one of their top original shows, Stephen King’s Mr. Mercedes, will be moving over to NBCUniversal’s Peacock streaming service as an exclusive.
The first two seasons will hit Peacock all at once on October 15th. The third season will then premiere as a Peacock original series sometime in the future.
Stephen King approves. Check out his tweet below.
Mr. Mercedes stars Harry Treadaway, Brendan Gleeson, Kelly Lynch, Jharrel Jerome, Mary-Louise Parker, Holland Taylor, Justine Lupe, Breeda Wool, Scott Lawrence, Jack Huston, Tessa Ferrer, Maximiliano Hernandez, and Nancy Travis.
Retired detective Bill Hodges is still haunted by the unsolved case of “Mr. Mercedes,” who claimed sixteen lives when he drove a stolen Mercedes through a line of job-seekers at a local job fair. Meanwhile, brilliant young psychopath Brady Hartsfield emerges to focus his attention on Hodges. What begins as an online cat-and-mouse game between the two soon has deadly real-life consequences as an increasingly desperate Hartsfield becomes bent on leaving his mark on the world.
The first season sports an 86% approval rating over on Rotten Tomatoes with a Critics Consensus that reads: Mr. Mercedes propels its tense, creepy narrative with quick-witted dialogue, strong characters, and terrifying surprises.
