Olivia Colman and Brie Larson team up for a new FX series, Apple acquires show set in New York’s cutthroat art scene, and Josh Brolin stars in an action comedy from John Wick producer Thunder Road
Cry Wolf (FX)
Fresh off his Emmy win for The Pitt, Shawn Hatosy will join Oscar winners Olivia Colman (The Favorite, The Crown) and Brie Larson (Room, Lessons in Chemistry) for the FX series Cry Wolf. Inspired by the Danish series Ulven Kommer, the psychological family thriller follows social worker Kath (Colman) and a mother April (Larson) who are thrust into crisis when the mother’s teenage daughter alleges abuse. Hatosy will play April’s husband and Mia’s stepfather who is at the center of the girl’s abuse allegations. The series showrunner will be Sarah Treem, who previously created the hit Showtime series The Affair and served as executive producer for Netflix’s inaugural House of Cards season. Filming is scheduled to commence in Toronto in early February.
The Dealer (Apple TV+)
Jessica Chastain (The Eyes of Tammy Faye, The Good Nurse) and Adam Driver (Star Wars, Ferrari) will co-star in a new drama series from distributor Apple and production company Media Res (The Morning Show, Pachinko). The Dealer is described as a biting exploration of power, class, seduction and culture set inside the glittering world of the high-end art market, told through the eyes of an aspiring super gallerist (Chastain) and the tangled relationship with her most gifted and unnerving artist (Driver). Created by Sam Gold, Lucas Hnath and Sarah Lunnie (the trio behind the hit Broadway play A Doll’s House, Part 2), the series will begin shooting on location in New York City in early May.
Mister (Thunder Road)
Josh Brolin (Weapons, Wake Up Dead Man) will star in a new action-comedy from John Wick production company Thunder Road. The film follows a former contract killer (Brolin) after he wakes up in a blood-soaked house with no memory and must team up with his estranged daughter to survive assassins from his past—and repair their relationship before it gets them both killed. The movie will mark the feature directorial debut of Wade Eastwood, a stuntman and second unit director who previously worked on the Mission Impossible and Jumanji franchises. Filming is scheduled to commence in Barcelona, Spain in early January.
