Actor Clark Moore Appears as Lt. Jeff Gibson in Route 187, Now Streaming on Paramount+
The four-part mystery drama from creator Mark E. Swinton, executive produced by Tyler Perry, released all four episodes at once
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Clark Moore, the Laredo, Texas-born actor with more than 65 credits across television, film, and video games, appears as Lt. Jeff Gibson in Route 187, the four-part mystery drama now streaming exclusively on Paramount+. All four episodes were released Wednesday, September 16, 2026.
Created, written, and directed by Mark E. Swinton and executive produced by Swinton and Tyler Perry for Tyler Perry Studios, Route 187 is set in the fictional, crumbling city of South Winslow and follows the residents who depend on the city's bus route. The story opens with the brutal murders of a bus driver and a high school basketball star, beaten to death on a bus, an act that ignites community outrage and pulls authorities into a hunt for the culprits caught on video. As the investigation widens, it collides with a string of missing Black women cases and a killer who has operated undetected for years. The series stars Christopher Livingston, Elijah Collins, Tonia Jackson, Lawrence Robinson, Rico Ball, and Cuyle Carvin, alongside Moore.
"Clark brought a steadiness to this set that you notice immediately. He shows up prepared, he listens, and he makes the scene better for everyone standing in it. I'm glad audiences are finally going to see this work."

Moore plays Lt. Jeff Gibson, a police lieutenant working the South Winslow case as it grows from a single bus stop into something far larger than the community first understood.
"South Winslow is fiction, but the pattern underneath it is not. Cases like these get worked hard when the cameras are on and quietly shelved when they aren't. Mark Swinton wrote a show that refuses to let that go, and playing a man carrying the weight of that investigation was the kind of work you don't get offered every year."

Route 187 arrives with a festival run already behind it. The series was an official selection of the 7th Annual LightReel Film Festival in Washington, D.C., where it opened the festival in June 2026, and was officially accepted into the RSF Martha's Vineyard African American Film Festival, one of the summer's most closely watched showcases for Black storytelling.
The role also lands squarely in the territory Moore is best known for. Much of his career has been built on blue-collar authority in detective, lawman, and military parts, from SEAL Team and NCIS to S.W.A.T. and Yellowstone, and Lt. Gibson extends that line into one of the most talked-about independent productions of the year.
Route 187 closes out a three-production year for the SAG-AFTRA actor. Moore appeared as Detective Moreno in Lifetime's Murder in Music City, which premiered in February, and as guest star Caleb Easton in Hulu's Furious, the Elizabeth Meriwether crime thriller that ran through August.
Moore's career highlights include a recurring role as D.A. Stanny Sanders in the ABC limited series Women of the Movement, executive produced by Will Smith and Jay-Z, and a leading performance in Aaron Mahnke's Amazon Prime series Lore. Born and raised on his father's ranch in Laredo, Texas, Moore studied film at The University of Texas at Austin before relocating to Los Angeles. His special skills include Krav Maga, weapons handling, and horseback riding, capabilities that inform his approach to tactical, military, and western roles.
All four episodes of Route 187 are now streaming exclusively on Paramount+. The official trailer is available on YouTube, and the series can be followed on Instagram at @route.187.

Stream It Or Skip It: ‘Route 187’ On Paramount+, A Tyler Perry-Produced Drama About Stories Of Perseverence In A Crime-Ridden City
We tend to approach any Tyler Perry-produced series with caution, mainly because Perry isn’t known for nuance in his writing or directing. However, the new Paramount+ drama Route 187 is written by Perry Studios veteran Mark E. Swinton, so we have a little bit of hope that the show won’t be a complete mess.
Opening Shot: A bus stops and lets on three young men. When one of them doesn’t have the money for the fare, the three men start harassing a teen who is bouncing a basketball between his legs.
The Gist: The bus route where the three thugs — Roshawn (Elijah Collins), William (Javen Lewis) and Darrell (Kerby Collins) — attack the teen, Terrell (Bryce Clyde Jenkins) is on Route 87 in South Winslow. The route is often nicknamed “Route 187,” with “187” being the police code for homicide. After the thugs carry Terrell out of the bus and beat him, the bus driver eventually gets involved outside the bus and gets beaten himself.
Mason James (Christopher Livingston) is a local reporter who is facing the reality that the newspaper he owns is going to be publishing its last edition. Still looking for stories, he finds out from T. Jay (Lawrence Robinson), who owns the used tire shop that young Black women keep disappearing from the neighborhood. What Mason doesn’t realize is that T. Jay runs a meth-making operation in the basement of the shop. Meanwhile, Tamara Henderson (Erica Pinkett) is denied visitation with her kids, and an angry outburst gets her thrown in lockup for contempt of court.
What Shows Will It Remind You Of? Route 187, created by Mark E. Swinton, with Tyler Perry as one of the executive producers, is reminiscent of shows like The Chi.
Our Take: Like many Perry productions, Route 187 doesn’t exactly come at its subject with much in the way of subtlety. The first scene we see is three guys attacking a teen on the bus whose route provides the show’s name. By the end of the 30-minute episode, Terrell’s mother, court clerk Lisa Mims (Tonia Jackson), is hyperventilating at the news that her son is in emergency surgery. Terrell’s brother is shown paying a prostitute $10 for favors next to a dumpster before he gets the bad news.
But what we are hoping is that, as we get through these fast-paced episodes, Swinton’s sensibilities will win out and the characters will get some depth. Mason is likely the factor that ties these stories together, but the nerdy lines he’s given, along with Livingston’s uneven portrayal, is endemic of what ultimately makes this show tough to watch. There’s a better show underneath some of the messy dialogue and over-the-top acting, but it may try the patience of viewers who keep watching in hope of finding that better show.
Performance Worth Watching: To be honest, no one really stands out, though Lawrence Robinson plays T. Jay and his twin brother Emp; T. Jay’s reaction to one of his guys accidentally calling him “Emp” shows us that they aren’t exactly close.
Sex And Skin: We mentioned that dumpster-side transaction. Also, T. Jay has all of his meth-making employees strip naked so they don’t pocket anything while working.
Parting Shot: Terrell’s mother Lisa can’t breathe as she gets word that her son’s injuries are life-threatening.
Our Call: STREAM IT. Route 187 suffers from a lack of nuance and some inconsistent performances. But we’re still recommending it because we’re hoping there’s at least a little nuance revealed as the series moves along.
