GoKawiilSwedish actor Stellan Skarsgård (Sentimental Value) is set to star alongside Dakota Fanning (All Her Fault) in an upcoming untitled international thriller series for Apple TV. Here’s what we know about it so far.
Two stars, no title
Earlier this year, Deadline reported that Apple had scored the distribution rights to a new thriller series, which would be produced by Sony Pictures Television, the same studio behind Apple TV shows such as For All Mankind, Star City, Black Bird, The Afterparty, Platonic, Pluribus, and Dark Matter.
At the time, Deadline said that Dakota Fanning would star on the show, and would also act as executive producer alongside her sister, Elle Fanning (A Rainy Day in New York). The show will be directed by Kari Skogland (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier).
Now, Apple has confirmed that this year’s Oscar nominee for Best Supporting Actor will join the show.

Here’s what to expect from the upcoming series, according to Apple:
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.
Like most early-stage projects, the series doesn’t have a release timeline yet. Its name, however, should be announced sooner rather than later.
Apple TV is available for $12.99 per month and features hit TV shows and movies like F1 The Movie, Pluribus, Severance, The Studio, The Morning Show, Shrinking and Silo.
