Jensen Ackles has another TV series on the way!
The Supernatural actor will star in and executive produce Rules of Prey, a new crime drama ordered by MGM+.
Based on the first book in John Sandford‘s Prey series, the show will follow former Minneapolis detective Lucas Davenport as a murder investigation pulls him back into police work.
Jensen will play Lucas, whose disregard for the rules cost him his place in the department. When a serial killer begins targeting people in Minneapolis, the crimes appear to carry a message meant for him.
Taking the case means he’ll have to figure out the killer’s motives while confronting an adversary intending to turn the investigation personal.
Here’s the official description:
Rules of Prey follows Lucas Davenport, formerly a detective in the Minneapolis Police Department, drawn out of seclusion back into law enforcement to investigate a series of confounding murders designed to send a message specifically to him. When an ingenious serial killer begins murdering Minneapolis citizens, Davenport, a brilliant polymath and unconventional investigator, takes the case, sparking an intense psychological duel with an equally intelligent adversary. As Davenport deciphers the killer’s twisted moral code and personal vendetta, he must match wits with a predator operating by his own rules of justice, risking everything to stop a killer who sees their conflict as the ultimate game.
MGM+ has ordered eight episodes, with production scheduled to begin in Toronto this month.
Bruce Terris created the adaptation and will act as showrunner and executive producer, while Daniel Sackheim will direct the first two episodes.
The casting adds to Jensen‘s upcoming television projects, since he’s also set to return as Soldier Boy in The Boys prequel series Vought Rising, headed to Prime Video in 2027.
