Prime Video's Stillwater has cast three series regulars opposite Ben Hardy: Lauren Cohan (The Walking Dead), Mark O'Brien (The Copenhagen Trial) and Mia Tomlinson (The Summons: The Last Rites).
Adapted from Warner Bros. Television, Berlanti Productions and Skybound Entertainment, Stillwater is based on the graphic novel Skybound by Chip Zdarsky and Ramon K. Perez. This series is a horror thriller that revolves around Daniel West, Hardy's former accuser. When Daniel receives a mysterious letter promising answers about his past and a significant legacy in the small town of Stillwater, he discovers a community where nothing ages, no one ever dies, and no one ever moves out. In related news, Mike Flanagan says the band 'Became Our Musical Identity' rewrote the 'Carrie' finale after hearing Haute & Freddy's song.

Deeply loyal to her husband Ted, a sheriff's deputy played by O'Brien, Cat has spent years convincing herself that what they do to protect the town's secret is justified. Watch on Deadline
