Netflix has picked up Devil in Ohio, with the Bones vet leading the cast of the new limited drama series. The suspenseful thriller is inspired by a true story and Daria Polatin’s best-selling book. Production is already underway in Vancouver, Canada.

The eight-episode series also stars Sam Jaeger as Peter, Gerardo Celasco as Detective Lopez, Madeleine Arthur as Mae, Xaria Dotson as Jules, Alisha Newton as Helen, and Naomi Tan as Dani.
Polatin serves as showrunner and executive producer. John Fawcett, Brad Anderson, Leslie Hope, and Steve Adelson direct. Rachel Miller with Haven Entertainment and Andrew Wilder also executive produce. Ian Hay is a producer.
In addition to her 12 seasons as Dr. Temperance Brennan on Bones, Deschanel’s TV credits include The Rookie, Animal Kingdom, Drunk History, and Law & Order: SVU.
