Apple TV announced it has landed a new original series created by Emmy Award winner Alex Cary (“A Spy Among Friends,” “Homeland”), with Dakota Fanning (“All Her Fault,” “Ripley”) set to star and serve as executive producer.
Fanning will star as an undercover Treasury agent in a multibillion-dollar international conglomerate with world-changing political and criminal tentacles, who becomes conflicted between her mission and a belief that her principal target, the heir apparent to all that corrupt power, is at his core a good man and worthy of her love.
Hailing from Sony Pictures Television, the untitled thriller is executive produced by Cary, who also serves as creator and showrunner under his overall deal with Sony Pictures Television and his FLW Productions banner. Julie Gardner (“Lady in the Lake,” “Doctor Who”) executive produces for Bad Wolf America, and Dakota Fanning executive produces alongside Elle Fanning and Brittany Kahan Ward of Lewellen Pictures (“Margo’s Got Money Troubles,” “The Great”). Kari Skogland (“Smoke,” “The Loudest Voice,” “The Handmaid’s Tale”) will direct and serve as executive producer.
