Netflix has announced its leading star of the upcoming thriller, All the Sinners Bleed, which comes from the screenwriter of Black Panther and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and I’m already obsessed.

Like many great thrillers, the nine-part series draws on strong source material: an adaptation of S.A. Cosby’s 2023 New York Times bestselling crime novel of the same name, which was on former president Barack Obama’s summer reading list.

HELLO!’s TV writer Abby Allen said: “Crime thrillers are so popular at the moment, but All the Sinners Bleed looks like one of the most exciting ones on offer. With Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù portraying the first Black sheriff of a deeply divided Southern town, this promises to be a gripping, thought-provoking watch.”

Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù, who viewers will recognise for his roles in Gangs of London and Slow Horses, will lead the cast.

Find out all you need to know below.

What is All the Sinners Bleed about?

The series is adapted from author S.A. Cosby’s novel about the first African American sheriff of a small town in Virginia, where a serial killer has been hiding in plain sight and targeting the local Black community.

The synopsis, which comes via Tudum, reads: “​​Haunted by his devout mother’s untimely death, the first Black sheriff in a small Bible Belt county must lead the hunt for a serial killer who has quietly been preying on his Black community for years in the name of God.”
