Josh Dallas is set to reunite with his Manifest co-star Melissa Roxburgh in an upcoming episode of NBC's The Hunting Party. Dallas will portray a sinister shoemaker known as the Connecticut Cobbler. The drama returns for its second season this week.
Josh Dallas, known for playing Ben Stone on the supernatural series Manifest, will guest-star alongside Melissa Roxburgh in an episode of The Hunting Party. The two previously portrayed siblings Ben and Michaela Stone on Manifest, which aired three seasons on NBC before concluding its fourth and final season on Netflix.
In The Hunting Party, Roxburgh stars as former FBI profiler Bex Henderson. Dallas takes on the role of Elliot Carr, alias the Connecticut Cobbler, described as "a master craftsman and high-end shoemaker who specialized in extraordinary custom shoes made from only the rarest and most exotic of leathers — think alligator, rhino and people, skinning his victims alive." The character synopsis adds, "Fresh off his escape from the Pit, Elliot is on the loose and making a whole new set of kicks, this time with a twist."
The Hunting Party returns for Season 2 on NBC, with its premiere episode focusing on Bex's efforts to reinstate her team to pursue the Boogeyman killer Ron Simms, played by Eric McCormack, who targets women seeking love. The show airs Thursdays at 10/9c.
This casting news highlights ongoing connections in television, bringing familiar faces back together in a thriller format distinct from their past collaboration on Manifest.
