The show is created by Bruce Terris ("DTF St. Louis"), who also serves as showrunner and executive producer. Daniel Sackheim ("Game of Thrones") will direct the first two episodes and executive produce. Filming begins this month in Toronto.
The eight-episode series follows Lucas Davenport (Ackles), formerly a detective in the Minneapolis Police Department, drawn out of seclusion back into law enforcement to investigate a series of confounding murders designed to send a message specifically to him. When an ingenious serial killer begins murdering Minneapolis citizens, Davenport, a brilliant polymath and unconventional investigator, takes the case, sparking an intense psychological duel with an equally intelligent adversary. As Davenport deciphers the killer's twisted moral code and personal vendetta, he must match wits with a predator operating by his own rules of justice, risking everything to stop a killer who sees their conflict as the ultimate game.
Ackles' character Lucas Davenport is described as a righteous avenging angel whose sharp mind, unconventional approach, and unwillingness to let the law get in the way of justice forced him out of the Minneapolis Police Department.
The series will premiere on MGM+ in the U.S., UK, Ireland, Germany, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Chile.
"Rules of Prey" is produced by MGM Television and Take 5 Productions. Executive producers include Ackles, Terris, Sackheim, Charles Gogolak and Matt Leipzig for Modern Literary Arts, Howard Braunstein, Michael Jaffe, John Requa, Glenn Ficarra and John Weber.
Michael Wright, global head of MGM+, had this to say about the casting: "Jensen Ackles' classic leading man charisma, combined with Bruce Terris' skillful adaptation of John Sandford's enduringly popular Prey series is an excellent fit for MGM+. The series delves into the psychological depth and suspense that made Sandford's novels unmissable reading and continues MGM+'s commitment to bringing classic Hollywood storytelling to modern audiences".
Ackles also stars in and produces the upcoming "The Boys" prequel "Vought Rising", which premieres in 2027, and will return for the fourth season of CBS' "Tracker".
