Jigsaw Plot and Cast
“Jigsaw” is a heist show about your classic crew of thieves with different specializations who team up for a big score. In this case, it’s the largest heist ever attempted. The story is based on the events of Hurricane Sandy in 2012, when floodwaters soaked $70 billion worth of bearer bonds in New York City (via David Scully’s “The Law and Practice of Fine Art, Jewellery and Specie Insurance”). Obviously, it will be a very loose adaptation, as those bonds weren’t stolen, just ruined.
What’s most unique about the story is how it will be told. The story is non-linear and takes place across multiple timelines, from 24 years before the heist to one year after. According to Netflix on Twitter, “Jigsaw” will be unlike any other series seen before, putting the viewers in control.
However, according to The Hollywood Reporter, that doesn’t mean “Jigsaw” will be a choose-your-own-adventure style story, like the “Bandersnatch” episode of “Black Mirror.” Instead, users will be able to choose the order they want to watch the episodes leading up to the finale — similar to the Paramount+ series “Interrogation.”
Talking about the cast includes Giancarlo Esposito as Leo Pap, Paz Vega as Ava Mercer, Rufus Sewell as Roger Salas, Tati Gabrielle as Hannah Kim, Rosaline Elbay as Judy Goodwin, Peter Mark Kendall as Stan Loomis, Jai Courtney as Bob Goodwin, and Niousha Noor as Nazan Abassi.
