Earlier this week on You Are What You Read, we had a conversation with Liz Moore, author of GOD OF THE WOODS and LONG BRIGHT RIVER, which is now a television series starring Amanda Seyfried. Liz Moore adapted the novel with writer/producer/director Nikki Toscano, who joins us on the podcast today. Nikki has brought us unique and thrilling television in her career: Paramount+’s THE OFFER, Amazon’s conspiracy drama thriller, HUNTERS, and now Peacock's LONG BRIGHT RIVER. Nikki teamed up with Liz Moore to give readers and viewers a gripping suspense thriller that follows Mickey (Amanda Seyfried), a police officer in a Philadelphia neighborhood hit hard by the opioid epidemic. As a string of murders unfolds, Mickey begins to uncover disturbing connections between her past and the case.
