Rules of Prey is headed to MGM+. The network has ordered the crime thriller series inspired by John Sandford’s book series, with Jensen Ackles set to star. Production will begin later this month in Toronto.

MGM+ revealed the following about the series:

“Rules of Prey follows Lucas Davenport, 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.

Jensen Ackles stars as Lucas Davenport, 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.”

MGM+ will announce the premiere date later.
