Plot Synopsis
Based on James L. Swanson's book, "Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer," MANHUNT is a seven-part true crime drama series about one of the best known but least understood crimes in history: the astonishing story of the hunt for John Wilkes Booth in the aftermath of Abraham Lincoln's assassination. The limited series opens with President Lincoln being assassinated five days after the Civil War ends -- when Edward Stanton, his right-hand man, finds himself at the aftermath's forefront. Then, facing a nation without a president, Stanton grapples with funeral arrangements, suspects, a piecing together a potentially larger conspiracy. MANHUNT debuted on Friday, March 15, 2024 on Apple TV+, which released the first two episodes. A new installment dropped weekly on Fridays through April 19.
