Sam Jaeger (Parenthood) has joined the growing cast of CBS All Access' Tell Me a Story in a lead role per Deadline. The fairytale thriller comes from Kevin Williamson. Jaeger will play Tim, a widowed single father. He joins previously announced cast members Paul Wesley, James Wolk, Danielle Campbell, Billy Magnussen, Kim Catrall and Dania Ramirez.
Tell Me a Story takes the world’s most beloved fairy tales and reimagines them as a dark and twisted psychological thriller. Set in modern day New York City, the first season of this serialized drama interweaves “The Three Little Pigs,” “Little Red Riding Hood,” and “Hansel and Gretel” into an epic and subversive tale of love, loss, greed, revenge and murder.
Jaeger will play Tim, a recently widowed single father who is still reeling from the death of his wife. Hoping for a change of pace and a new start, Tim just moved to New York with his troubled daughter Kayla (Campbell) to live with his mother, Colleen (Cattrall). Desperate to cope with the grief, Tim throws himself into work while grappling with a broken-hearted daughter who seems to grow further and further away from him each day.
