“If it is murder, then the killer is still onboard.” Hulu has debuted a new official US trailer for their release of the thriller series Red Eye, arriving for streaming in the US on Hulu starting this July. Made by Sony TV in the UK, this first played on ITVX in the UK in April last year. They’re already working on Season 2 while everyone in the US catches up with the first six intense episodes. Not to be confused with horror cult classic film Red Eye (2005) with Cillian Murphy & Rachel McAdams. The series takes place during an all-night flight between London & Beijing after a British man is extradited to China on suspicion of murder. London police officer DC Hana Li is escorting Matthew Nolan back to Beijing where he has been accused of a crime. However, on board flight 357, she finds herself embroiled in an escalating conspiracy and a growing number of murders. This stars Jing Lusi as Detective Hana Li, Richard Armitage as Dr. Matthew Nolan, along with Lesley Sharp, Jemma Moore, Dan Li, Cash Holland, Tai Yin Chan, & many other passengers. This also reminds me of the other airplane thriller series Hijack with Idris Elba out recently. Tray tables up.
Here’s the official US trailer (+ teaser poster) for Peter A. Dowling’s series Red Eye, from Hulu’s YouTube:
A red eye flight underway from London to Beijing becomes a thrilling journey after Dr. Matthew Nolan (Richard Armitage) is arrested and accused of murdering a woman.
