Lorenza Izzo (Hacks) is set as a lead opposite Taylor Schilling and Michiel Huisman in in NBC‘s crime drama pilot What The Dead Know, from Wolf Entertainment and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.
Written by Beth Rinehart, the procedural is based on former New York City death investigator Barbara Butcher’s memoir of the same name.
What the Dead Know centers on highly intelligent, hyper-vigilant death Investigator Ava Ledger (Schilling) who is really good with dead bodies. It’s the living that give her trouble. The series follows Ava as she teams with the NYPD to solve their toughest cases.
Izzo will play Det. Danielle Castillo, a computer crimes specialist with the NYPD who has recently been reassigned to homicide.
Huisman portrays William Grant, an experienced NYPD homicide detective who thinks justice is simple – black and white.
Rinehart executive produces What the Dead Know with Wolf Entertainment’s Dick Wolf, Tom Thayer, Peter Jankowski and Anastasia Puglisi. Kevin Plunkett, Rebecca McGill and Butcher co-executive produce. Fred Berner is director/executive producer.
Izzo can be seen in HBO Max’s Emmy-winning Hacks as well as the Greg Mottola-directed film Confess, Fletch, opposite Jon Hamm. Other film credits include Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood, Women Is Loser, which she also produced, and Stone Cold Fox. Izzo next will be seen in Amazon Prime series El Gato Negro. She’s repped by IAG and 1v1 Entertainment.
