Today at the Walter Reade Theater at Lincoln Center in New York, N.Y., Apple TV+ held the world premiere event for “Echo 3,” the highly anticipated new original action-packed thriller, from two-time Academy Award-winning creator Mark Boal (“The Hurt Locker,” “Zero Dark Thirty”). The series will premiere with the first three episodes on Wednesday, November 23, 2022 on Apple TV+, followed by one new episode weekly, every Friday through January 13, 2023.
Starring Luke Evans, Michiel Huisman and Jessica Ann Collins, “Echo 3” is an action-packed thriller set in South America that follows Amber Chesborough (Collins), a brilliant young scientist who is the emotional heart of a small American family. When Amber goes missing along the Colombia-Venezuela border, her brother, Bambi (Evans), and her husband, Prince (Huisman) – two men with deep military experience and complicated pasts – struggle to find her in a layered personal drama, set against the explosive backdrop of a secret war. “Echo 3” also stars Martina Gusman as “Violetta," a prominent political columnist. The series features James Udom, Maria Del Rosario, Alejandro Furth, Juan Pablo Raba and special guest star, Bradley Whitford. “Echo 3” is also based on the award-winning series “When Heroes Fly,” created by Omri Givon, and inspired by the eponymous novel by Amir Gutfreund.
