Though the two projects were filmed at the same time, they were independent of each other, and the Manhunt: Deadly Games had not seen the film when they made the series.īoth versions of the story are based on different sources Richard Jewell was based on the Vanity Fair article 'American Nightmare: The Ballad of Richard Jewell' and the book The Suspect: An Olympic Bombing, the FBI, the Media, and Richard Jewell, the Man Caught in the Middle, while Deadly Games is based in part on the Maryanne Vollers book Lone Wolf, which is mostly about Rudolph.Īs such, Manhunt: Deadly Games is much more about Rudolph, who was arrested in 2003 for setting the pipe bomb at the Olympic Park, as well as three other bombings, including explosives set off at two abortion clinics and a lesbian bar.
If the name of Richard Jewell sounds familiar, that is because he is also the subject of recent Clint Eastwood movie Richard Jewell, which told the story of his time as a suspect in the bombings and how he received a trial by the media. In the CBS/Spectrum series, we explore the lives of the two suspects: Park security guard Richard Jewell (Cameron Britton), who the media hounded after he was thought to be a suspect due to fitting the profile of a 'lone gunman,' and Eric Rudolph (Jack Huston), a right-wing radical with links to Army of God, a militant anti-abortion terrorist group. This time, however, the series is tackling the real-life events of the 1996 bombing of Atlanta's Olympic Park, which killed one person and injured 100. Like the first season of Manhunt, the show tells a true story. Manhunt: Deadly Games is starting on CBS on Monday, September 21, seven months after the show debuted as a Spectrum Original. © CBS 'Manhunt: Deadly Games' tells the story of 1996 Olympic Park bomber Eric Rudolph, who is played in the CBS/Spectrum series by Jack.
