Austin Stowell Joins the Cast of Peacock’s A Friend Of The Family

Austin Stowell has landed a new role. The actor has joined the Peacock limited series, A Friend Of The Family.

Joined by Patrick Fischler, Bree Elrod, Anna Paquin, Jake Lacy, Lio Tipton, Mckenna Grace, Hendrix Yancey, and Philip Ettinger, A Friend Of the Family is based on the harrowing true story of the Broberg family, whose daughter Jan was kidnapped multiple times over a period of years by a charismatic, obsessed family “friend.” The Brobergs — devoted to their faith, family, and community — were utterly unprepared for the sophisticated tactics their neighbor used to exploit their vulnerabilities, drive them apart, and turn their daughter against them. This is the story of how their lives were permanently altered — and how they survived.

Austin is set to play the role of FBI Agent Pete Welsh, a young investigator dead set on returning Jan Broberg to her family. As a father himself, Pete invests in Jan’s case and grows frustrated by Robert Berchtold’s ability to continue manipulating everyone around him.
