Dirty John: trailer

A trailer has dropped for Dirty John starring Eric Bana and Connie Britton.

The NBCU-produced anthology sees Bana star as “Dirty” John Meehan, a handsome and romantic charmer who sweeps Debra Newell (Connie Britton) off her feet and pulls her into his web of lies.

The series is based on a podcast by LA Times reporter Chris Goffard and dramatises how the romance spiralled into secrets, deception, denial and, ultimately, survival. Season two will feature an entirely new stand-alone story.

It is written by Alexandra Cunningham (Chance, Desperate Housewives), who is co-executive producer. Jeffrey Reiner (The Affair, Friday Night Lights) is executive produce and directs the pilot episode.

It will screen in Australia through Netflix.
