Apple TV+ Announces New Suspense Thriller, “The Dispatcher,” Starring Gotham Award Winner Patrick Brammall

“The Dispatcher” is adapted by acclaimed writer Kris Mrksa, based on the book of the same name by CWA John Creasey Dagger Award-winning author Ryan David Jahn.

Today, Apple TV+ announced a new six-episode thriller, “The Dispatcher,” starring Gotham Award winner Patrick Brammall (“Colin from Accounts,” “Evil”) in the lead role. Set in Australia, “The Dispatcher” is an adaptation by acclaimed writer and executive producer Kris Mrksa (“Requiem,” “No Escape,” “White House Farm”) of the book of the same name by CWA John Creasey Dagger Award-winning author Ryan David Jahn.

Detective Ian Hunt’s life was turned upside down ten years ago when his daughter Maggie disappeared without a trace. Now a police dispatcher, the only thing keeping him going is his relentless refusal to accept that she could be gone forever. When he receives a distress call from a young girl he’s certain is Maggie, he’ll stop at nothing to find her and reunite his broken family—no matter the cost.

The series is produced by Jamie Laurenson and Hakan Kousetta at 60Forty Films, with executive producers Mrksa and Joanna Werner at Werner Film Productions.

“The Dispatcher” joins a slate of acclaimed and thrilling dramas on Apple TV+, including the high-octane hit “Hijack,” starring SAG Award and Golden Globe Award winner Idris Elba and executive producing; the critically acclaimed and multiple BAFTA Award winner “Slow Horses,” directed by Academy Award winner Gary Oldman; and the recently announced “Down Cemetery Road,” starring Academy Award winner Emma Thompson and Golden Globe Award winner Ruth Wilson, among others.
