The Calling S1

Created by 11-time Emmy winner David E Kelley (Big Little Lies, Love & Death, L.A. Law), The Calling tells the story of NYPD Detective Avraham Avraham (Jeff Wilbusch from Oslo and Unorthodox), whose belief in mankind is his superpower when it comes to uncovering the truth. Guided by a deep sense of spirituality and religious principles, Avraham is left to question his own humanity when a seemingly routine investigation turns upside down.

Based on The Missing File, the first novel in the award-winning Avraham Avraham series of novels by Dror Mishani, the Peacock Original’s cast includes Juliana Canfield (Succession’s Jess Jordan), Karen Robinson (​​Ronnie Lee from Schitt's Creek), Michael Mosley (The Girl from Plainville), BAFTA Scotland Award winner Tony Curran (Frankie in Your Honor) and Teen Choice nominee Noel Fisher (Shameless). 

Oscar and Emmy winner Barry Levinson (Dopesick, The Survivor, Rain Man) directs the first two episodes.
