The series Black Bird, a crime mystery based on actual events, premieres on Friday, July 8, on Apple TV+. The slick show follows the case of Jimmy Keene (Taron Egerton), a football hero and policeman’s son sentenced to 10 years in a minimum-security prison. Keene is given a choice to either serve his entire 10 years without parole or take on a risky opportunity to earn early freedom: enter a maximum-security prison for the criminally insane and befriend a suspected serial killer. There, he attempts to gain the trust of Larry Hall (Paul Walter Hauser) in order to elicit a confession and uncover the location of Hall’s victims.
However, things are more complicated than Keene anticipates, and Hall is more conniving. Can he get him to reveal the locations of the girls’ bodies before his appeal goes through? Or is the killer just spinning more lies? Can you trust a criminal to solve a mystery? The six-episode series co-stars Spider Moafi, Greg Kinnear, and Ray Liotta. Read on to learn more about how to watch.
