There are new promo pics to go along with the trailer for WGN America’s new show Manhattan, which looks like it’s going to be pretty cool. Manhattan has an impressive cast which includes Olivia Williams (Rushmore), John Benjamin Hickey (The Good Wife), Daniel Stern (Home Alone), and Rachel Brosnahan (House of Cards), among others. The premise is described as:
Fueled by mystery and suspense, Manhattan is set in the 1940s in a town whose very existence is classified. Frank Winter and his team of brilliant but flawed scientists have been recruited to work on a project even they could know nothing about until their arrival. Once inside “The Hill,” a middle-class bubble on a dusty foothill in the New Mexico desert, they begin to sense that this is no ordinary assignment. In fact, they are living in a town with the world’s highest concentration of geniuses, yet it can’t be found on any map – a place where men and women are town between duty and their moral values, husbands and wives conceal the truth from each other and their families, the military keeps secrets from the scientists they chaperone, and the scientists keep secrets from each other.
Manhattan premieres Sunday, July 27th at 9/8pm ET/CT on WGN America.
