CULVER CITY, Calif., Sept. 4 (UPI) -- Milo Ventimiglia will star in and produce "Chosen," a psychological thriller to tape in Los Angeles, for the multi-platform entertainment network Crackle.

Created by Ben Ketai and Ryan Lewis, the series will include six half-hour episodes. Ketai also wrote and will direct the series, which is slated to premiere this winter across all Crackle platforms.

In the show, former "Heroes" star Ventimiglia plays a husband, father and lawyer who awakens one morning to discover a mysterious box on his doorstep containing a loaded gun -- and a photo of a stranger he is instructed to kill within the next three days, a synopsis said.

The series' cast will also include Diedrich Bader, Nicky Whelan, Brett Davern and Katrina Law.
