Adam Scott stars as a father racing against time to find his missing son. Netflix's new series The Whisper Man tells a thrilling story adapted from a bestselling crime novel. Scott plays the character Tom Kennedy, a widowed writer whose life is turned upside down when his eight-year-old son goes missing. As he discovers that his son's disappearance may be linked to the crimes of a serial killer who spent many years in prison, viewers will dive deep into this mystery.

In the trailer for the series, we see Tom having to reunite with his estranged father Pete Willis (Robert De Niro) while searching for his missing son. Pete captured a child murderer known as the Whisper Man 30 years ago and sent him to prison. But if the Whisper Man is in jail, who kidnapped Tom's son? As Tom races against time, viewers will learn the answer to this question at the premiere of The Whisper Man on August 28.

The cast of the series includes not only Scott and De Niro but also famous names like Michelle Monaghan, Michael Keaton, John Carroll Lynch, and Hamish Linklater. New Zealand director James Ashcroft, who scared audiences last year with The Rule of Jenny Pen, will also direct a project titled When Darkness Loves Us..., starring Emilia Clarke. The Whisper Man will premiere on Netflix this summer, promising thrilling moments.
