Episode Details

Mads Mikkelsen, Tessa Thompson, and Michael Shannon are teaming up for the high-stakes drama “Last Meals,” set to shoot this fall. Based on an Academy Nicholl Award-winning script, the film follows a former White House chef (Mikkelsen) who uncovers possible innocence in a death row inmate’s case — sparking a moral reckoning amid a looming presidential election. Thompson plays a food critic entangled in the investigation, while Shannon portrays the governor wielding power over clemency. Directed by Ramin Bahrani (with whom Shannon previously collaborated), the project is produced by acclaimed filmmaker Renée Tab and has already secured international distribution deals across Asia and Europe. This isn’t just another courtroom flick — it’s a gripping tale of justice, guilt, and redemption.
