TNT's I Am the Night cast is chock-full of top-tier talent that make up the limited series' unique characters. I Am the Night, which is executive produced by Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman 1984) and written by Jenkins' husband, Sam Sheridan (Warrior), is based on the memoir One Day She'll Darken by Fauna Hodel, a longtime friend of Jenkins.

Set in 1965, I Am the Night centers on 16-year-old Fauna, who grew up in Sparks, NV, believing she was mixed-race. When she discovers that she was adopted, Fauna sets out to learn the truth about her mother after receiving an invitation to Los Angeles from her mysterious grandfather, George Hill Hodel. Meanwhile, Jay Singletary, a down-on-his-luck reporter, reopens the investigation into the infamous 1947 Black Dahlia murder, which leads him into a dangerous labyrinth. When he crosses paths with Fauna, Jay realizes he and this lost teenager could be searching for the same answers.
