Amanda Seyfried stays warm by layering up in a black fur coat between takes on the New York City set of series Long Bright River

Amanda Seyfried looked cozy in a voluminous furry coat while working on the New York City set of the upcoming series Long Bright River on Friday.

The 38-year-old actress appeared to be in high spirits as she interacted with several of the forthcoming project’s crew members.

Seyfried — who recently showed off her newest work at the prestigious Berlin Film Festival — layered up in a jet-black fur coat that covered up much of her frame as she worked on the show.

She later changed into a long-sleeve shirt worn underneath what appeared to be a bulletproof vest.

The Academy Award–nominated performer kept her gorgeous blonde hair casual by tying it into a tight bun.

Long Bright River is based on Liz Moore’s book of the same name, which was published in 2020 and went on to become a New York Times bestseller. 

The show will center on a police officer working in a high-crime area of Philadelphia who discovers that she has a personal connection to several murders in her district.

Development on the project was revealed to the public this past January, when Seyfried signed on as its star.

In addition to leading the cast of the upcoming program, the Mank actress will also serve as one of its executive producers. 

According to Deadline, both Seyfried and Moore participated in a ride-along with Philadelphia’s 26th District Police that month.

The author, as well as executive producer Nikki Toscano, issued a statement to express their enthusiasm about being able to work with the top-billed actress. 

‘We are thrilled that Amanda Seyfried will lead this series about how those initially perceived as victims can band together to regain their power,’ they said.

The pair added that the show ‘aims to portray with compassion the lives of those struggling with addiction and the family members who love them.’
