Watch the trailer for Netflix’s ‘Death by Lightning’

Netflix returns to the 1880s – and its turbulent politics – in trailer for its upcoming series Death by lightning.

The thriller in four episodes, which counts Game of Thrones And 3 Body Problem co-creators David Benioff and DB Weiss among its executive producers, traces the lives of James Garfield (Michael Shannon), the 20th president of the United States, and Charles Guiteau (Matthew Macfadyen), a great admirer of Garfield – who eventually becomes his assassin.

The series, created and written by Mike Makowsky (Emmy Award-winning series on HBO) Bad education) is based on Candice Millard’s book, Destiny of the Republic. The premiere is scheduled for November 6. Watch the trailer below.

With Shannon and Macfadyen, Death by lightningThe main cast also includes Shea Whigham, Nick Offerman, Betty Gilpin and Bradley Whitford. Alistair Petrie, Archie Fisher, Barry Shabaka Henley, Ben Miles, Kyle Soller, Laura Marcus, Paula Malcomson, Shaun Parkes, Tuppence Middleton, Vondie Curtis Hall and Željko Ivanek have guest roles.

Netflix gave Death by lightning a straight-to-series order in February 2024, with Macfadyen making the show one of his first TV commitments after Succession (he also has The miniature woman on Peacock’s Bridge) – and there’s a certain Wambsgansian energy to his portrayal of Guiteau in the trailer.

Makowsky, Benioff and Weiss executive produce the series with Bernie Caulfield and director Matt Ross (Gaslit, Silicon Valley).
