Deadline also reported that two people from the Jack Ryan series will help work on ‘Silent River.’ They are Aaron Rabin and Andrew Bernstein. Deadline’s report gave more insights on ‘Silent River, with a statement from Vernon Sanders:’
“We are thrilled to continue our work with John Krasinski, Allyson Seeger, and Sunday Night on this gripping series, which delves into the mysteries and secrets of small-town America,“ said Vernon Sanders, head of television, Amazon MGM Studios. “With John and Matthew Rhys attached to star in this wonderful story from Aaron Rabin, our global customers will be on the edge of their seats throughout this thought-provoking, psychological thriller.”
