Two actors with Emmy nominations to their names have been announced to join the cast of the Jon Hamm series American Hostage, shooting in Winnipeg this fall.

According to Deadline, Mireille Enos (The Killing) will play Barbara, the wife of Hamm's character, Fred Heckman, an Indianapolis radio reporter.

His mentee at WIBC news, Ben Hairstone, will be played by William Jackson Harper, known for The Good Place and Love Life.

The eight-episode series, executive produced by and starring Mad Men star Hamm, is a true story based on a podcast of the same name, which Hamm also voiced.

The 1970s-set psychological thriller follows Heckman's conflicted time in the spotlight after a man named Tony Kiritsis demands to be interviewed on his radio program while involved in an active hostage situation; Kiritsis was holding his mortgage broker captive after he was refused an extension to pay his mortgage.

Harper, who receieved a Tony nomination for his role in Uncle Vanya on Broadway, will star in the upcoming fourth season of The Morning Show on Apple+. Enos also has a Tony nomination for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
