Prime Video is loading up another glossy crime series, and this one comes with a loaded family tree. Jordana Brewster just joined the cast of Bishop, a San Francisco-set thriller already headlined by Joel Kinnaman, John Malkovich, and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Yes, that lineup looks as expensive as it sounds.
Who is playing who
- Jordana Brewster as Kat Clairborne, a veteran SFPD inspector who has seen the city at its worst
- Joel Kinnaman as Bishop Graves, the titular homicide detective
- John Malkovich as Lincoln Graves, Bishop's father and a major power player in San Francisco
- Jennifer Jason Leigh as Jillian Graves, Lincoln's sister (and Bishop's aunt); her casting broke just ahead of this update
What Bishop is about
Created from an original idea by Little Marvin and Tony Saltzman, Bishop tracks Kinnaman's detective as he chases a high-profile killer targeting the city’s wealthiest circles. The investigation pulls him into a crowd-pleasing nightmare: the murderer starts building a devoted following among people the system keeps ignoring, and every new body points Bishop back toward the person he least wants to suspect — his father.
"Brilliant, battle-scarred" is how Bishop gets described. The case looks just as bruising.
The hunt zeroes in on "an elusive killer targeting San Francisco's moneyed class," with a potential link to the city’s most powerful man — Lincoln Graves.
Prime Video gave the show the go-ahead in September 2025. Family dinners should be a blast.
Brewster's recent run
Brewster has anchored the Fast & Furious franchise as Mia Toretto since the original film in 2001, and she has kept a steady mix of movies and TV along the way: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, Dallas, Lethal Weapon, Secrets and Lies, On Our Way, Cellar Door, and Neon. Most recently, in 2025, she played Detective Jeanine Shaw in Sony's romantic comedy slasher Heart Eyes.
The rest, for now
Plot specifics, schedule, and the wider ensemble are being kept close to the vest. More as it develops.
