            Discovery Channel’s latest scripted anthology series, Manhunt: Unabomber could wind up being one of the best new series of the Summer and we finally have a trailer. The show features an all-star cast and aims towards the hunt for America’s deadliest serial bomber ever, Ted Kaczynski.

            The series features the first major TV roles for Sam Worthington and an unrecognizable Paul Bettany who plays Kaczynski. We announced this just a few months ago before they started shooting and now, we’re just months away from seeing this project on screen. This trailer was great and could be Discovery’s own version of American Crime Story. It could definitely be one of the hottest new shows in the Peak TV era and I’m excited to check it out.

            Check out the trailer below for Manhunt: Unabomber! The show stars Sam Worthington, Paul Bettany, Chris Noth, Keisha Castle-Hughes, Jane Lynch, Mark Duplass, Michael Nouri and Brian d’Arcy James. The show premieres on Discovery Channel on August 1^st at 9 PM ET.
