Netflix is set to release the psychological crime thriller ‘The Whisper Man’ on August 28. Based on the international bestselling novel by Alex North, the film features a prominent cast including Robert De Niro, Adam Scott, and Michelle Monaghan.

The plot follows Tom Kennedy, a widower and crime novelist, whose eight-year-old son goes missing.

Directed by James Ashcroft, the film aims to explore the emotional complexities of father-son relationships alongside the central mystery of whether a notorious killer has returned or if the truth was never fully uncovered.
