Amanda Seyfried gets into character as a police officer on the set of her thriller Long Bright River

Amanda Seyfried was spotted working on the set of her new television series Long Bright River in New York City on Monday.

The 38-year-old actress —  who skipped the 2024 Emmys to stay in — was dressed in blue, in character as a police officer.

The Mama Mia! star looked official in her patrol uniform, which included a black shirt and slacks with a heavy jacket complete with a police seal.

Her blonde hair was parted down the middle and pulled back into a low bun at the back of her head.

She skipped earrings and wore a light face of makeup that included soft pink cheeks and matching matte lipstick.

In another scene she was clad in a pair of dark jeans, a beige, ribbed, turtleneck sweater.

It was topped by a long black coat with a fuzzy, cream-colored collar as she sat behind the wheel of a car.

She toted a gun as she recorded a nighttime scene in the Big Apple, though the movie plot is set in Philadelphia. 

Amanda is starring as a law enforcement officer in the show, which is based on the best-selling 2020 novel of the same name.

To prepare for the role, Seyfried went for a ride-along with real Philly cops along with author Liz Moore, according to PhillyVoice.com.

Her character’s name is Mickey and is ‘a police officer who patrols a Philadelphia neighborhood hard-hit by the opioid crisis.’

‘When a series of murders begins in the neighborhood, Mickey realizes that her personal history might be related to the case,’ the logline for the project reads.

The investigation leads to a search for Mickey’s sister, Kacey, an addict who has gone missing.
