Political Murder Mystery “Death on the Brandywine” Hits Theaters This Month

A political murder mystery is making its way to select theaters, and it’s got a cast full of familiar faces from TV’s biggest shows.

“Death on the Brandywine” stars Kate Burton (“Grey’s Anatomy,” “Scandal”), Tuc Watkins (“Paradise,” “The Rookie”), Jay Huguley (“Cape Fear”), Guy Nardulli (“Tulsa King”), Rena Sofer (“General Hospital”), and Walt Willey (“All My Children”) as Senator Riley, the politician whose sudden death kicks off the whole thing.

Directed by Nick Wilkinson, the film digs into family secrets and political betrayal after the senator dies. It’s the kind of indie thriller that leans on strong performances and a twisty plot to keep you hooked.

The movie opens in select theaters on June 25 in New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Nashville, and Delaware, where it was actually filmed. Some screenings will include Q&As with the cast. Then it goes wide on July 16 via Apple, Amazon, and Fandango.

It’s a solid example of what indie filmmakers can pull off with the right cast and a story that taps into political intrigue. For creators working outside the studio system, this is the kind of project that proves you don’t need a massive budget to make something people want to watch.
