Limetown Trailer
This trailer feels somehow even more tense than the first one, really leaning into the danger and intrigue at the center of this fictional story portrayed as a real investigative report. But I find myself wondering just how many people are tuning in to original shows on Facebook Watch. It must be enough to warrant giving a second season to the seriesSorry for Your Lossstarring Elizabeth Olsen, but that still doesn’t give us any idea of viewership size, and Facebook hasn’t been offering that information up either.
The rest of the cast includesStanley Tucci(The Devil Wears Prada)Marlee Matlin(Quantico, The Magicians),Kelly Jenrette(The Handmaid’s Tale, Grandfathered),John Beasley(Shots Fired, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks),Sherri Saum(The Fosters,Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.),Omar Elba(A Hologram For the King),Louis Ferriera(The Man in the High Castle,S.W.A.T.), andJanet Kidder(Arrow,The Man in the High Castle).
