Billy Magnussen Joins ‘Scream’ Writer Kevin Williamson’s New Thriller Series “Tell Me a Story”
Back in November, CBS All Access ordered “Tell Me a Story” to series, described as a fantasy-psychological thriller from Scream writer and “Vampire Diaries” co-creator Kevin Williamson. Via Deadline today, Game Night actor Billy Magnussen has been cast.
In addition, Liz Friedlander (Conviction) has been tapped to direct and executive produce the first two episodes.
The first season of the anthology series, which takes the world’s most beloved fairy tales and reimagines them as a dark and twisted psychological thriller, will interweave “The Three Little Pigs”, “Little Red Riding Hood”, and “Jack and the Beanstalk” into a subversive tale of love, loss, greed, revenge and murder.
Magnussen will play Nick, a young high school teacher who’s handsome, seductive, and quite possibly a wolf in sheep’s clothing. After a wild night with a girl he met at a nightclub results in a hookup but no phone numbers swapped, he thinks his chances with her have gone out the window. But when he runs into her again, he’s sure to take advantage of his second chance, proving he’s sensitive, understanding… and, quite possibly, too good to be true.
Williamson executive produces with Kapital’s Aaron Kaplan and Dana Honor.
