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.

Like most early-stage projects, the series doesn’t have a release timeline yet. Its name, however, should be announced sooner rather than later.
