Jessica Biel's next TV role is coming to Facebook Watch!
The streamer has dropped the first trailer for Limetown, a brand new thriller series which finds Biel's Lia Haddock driven to the depths of despair when things go awry in a small town.
Lia “unravels the mystery behind the disappearance of more than 300 people at a neuroscience research community in Tennessee,” according to the official logline.
The character is an investigative journalist who is producing a radio show focusing on the disappearance of Limetown.
Her entire world has been shaped by the tragedy, more so because her uncle was one of the people lost.
She is described as "smart, fearless, and willing to sacrifice anything for the truth."
Stanley Tucci is on board as Emile, Lia's missing uncle. He was once Lia's caretaker before leaving the family while she was young.
