NYC homicide detective John Amsterdam (Nikolaj Coster Waldau) is described as brilliant, reckless and mysterious. He’s also secretly immortal. John was fatally injured back in 1642 but was saved by a Native American girl’s spell. While the spell saved his life, John is doomed to watch his friends and family age and die while he remains unchanged by time. He won’t become mortal again until he’s able to find his one true love.
