‘Rules Of Prey’ Rounds Out Series Regular Cast With Peter Outerbridge, Cody Ray Thompson & David Klein

EXCLUSIVE: Peter Outerbridge (Neagley, I Will Find You), Cody Ray Thompson (The Umbrella Academy) and David Klein (Overcompensating, 56 Days) round out the series regular cast for Rules of Prey, MGM+‘s upcoming crime thriller series. The trio join previously announced series regulars Jensen Ackles, Lucy Fry and Amanda Brugel.

Created by Bruce Terris (DTF St. Louis), based on the first novel in John Sandford’s Prey book series, the series follows Lucas Davenport (Ackles), 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.

Outerbridge will play Sloan, a veteran, married to the job Minneapolis Police Department Detective who has given everything, maybe too much, to the job.

Thompson portrays Louis, an overworked, seemingly geeky legal researcher who’s exceptional at his job and resentful that others aren’t.

Klein is Peter, a green, overconfident Minneapolis Police Department Detective desperate to establish his dominance.
