Ben Hardy Will Lead ‘Stillwater’ Show At Prime Video

Ben Hardy has been cast in the leading role of Daniel West in the upcoming Prime Video series Stillwater, from Berlanti Productions, Warner Bros. Television and Skybound Entertainment.

Stillwater is a mind-bending horror thriller that focuses on ex-con Daniel West. When Daniel receives a mysterious letter promising answers about his past and a substantial inheritance in the small town of Stillwater, he discovers a community where nothing ever ages, no one ever dies, and nobody ever gets out.

The one-hour drama hails from Executive Producers Greg Berlanti (You, The Flash) and Carly Wray (“Watchmen,” “Westworld”), based on the Skybound graphic novel by Chip Zdarsky and Ramón K Pérez. Wray & Berlanti co-wrote the pilot episode.

Stillwater is produced by Warner Bros. Television, Berlanti Productions, Skybound Entertainment and Amazon MGM Studios. The series was given an eight-episode series order ahead of San Diego Comic-Con in July 2026.

Hardy most recently starred in New Line’s The Conjuring: Last Rites, which debuted as the highest-grossing horror opening of all time. Other recent credits include Vanessa Caswell’s Love at First Sight and Sally El Hosaini and James Krishna Floyd’s Unicorns, which earned Hardy a British Independent Film Award nomination. Previously, he starred as Queen drummer Roger Taylor opposite Rami Malek in Bohemian Rhapsody. He also starred in the HBO Max/BBC limited series The Girl Before, Amazon
Studios’ The Voyeurs opposite Sydney Sweeney, X-Men: Apocalypse and Michael Bay’s 6 Underground. Hardy is repped by UTA, Principal Entertainment LA and Independent Talent Group..
