The four-part limited series will debut on Sunday, May 21 at 10/9c. New episodes will be available on streaming and on demand Fridays at midnight before their linear premieres.
The series reveals the origins of 21-year-old Imad Mughniyeh (also known as "The Ghost"), who emerged from obscurity and was responsible for more American deaths than any other individual prior to 9/11. Told from the American, Israeli and Lebanese perspectives, the series traces Mughniyeh's origins from the Shiite slums of South Beirut to his masterminding of the concept of suicide bombers, a deadly tactic that led to his swift rise as the world's most dangerous terrorist. Based on extensive research of still-classified events, the series spans decades and weaves in first-hand, real-life interviews with prominent officials from the CIA and Mossad, connecting the turmoil of 1980s Beirut with the spy games of the modern Middle East.
In addition to Shihabi and Mulroney, the series stars Garret Dillahunt, Iddo Goldberg, Hisham Suleiman, Amir Khoury and Rafi Gavron.
Avi Issacharoff and Lior Raz created the series. They executive produce with Daniel Dreifuss and director Greg Barker. Writer Joëlle Touma co-executive produces with Padriac McKinley and Diane Becker.
