Manhunt is a new period thriller about the hunt for Abraham Lincoln’s killer, John Wilkes Booth — here’s details of where to watch the show.

Manhunt is a seven-part series about the nationwide search for a killer, based on James L. Swanson’s historical novel Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln’s Killer.

Tobias Menzies plays Edwin Stanton, the US Secretary for War, who is charged with the task of tracking down Booth (Anthony Boyle). Hamish Linklater plays Lincoln, whom we see in flashbacks, via scenes that lead up to the assassination at Ford’s Theater.
