The Hawaii Five-O vet will star opposite Sam Worthington in Netflix's adaptation of Harlan Coben's aforementioned novel, our sister site Variety reports.
Additionally, Jonathan Tucker (Westworld, Kingdom) has joined the show's cast, per Deadline.
In the limited series, "an innocent father (Worthington) serving life for the murder of his own son receives evidence that his child may still be alive—and must break out of prison to find out the truth," reads the official synopsis. McBride will play Max Williams, "a legend in the FBI's Fugitive Task Force who will doggedly pursue the escaped con David Burrough (Worthington) no matter how much it rips his personal life apart." Meanwhile, Tucker is Police Sergeant Adam Mackenzie, a close friend of David's who will help his pal in any way he can.
