Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things, Enola Holmes) and David Harbour (DTF: St. Louis, Stranger Things) have left the supernatural happenings of Hawkins behind for a different kind of highly classified mystery.
The two Emmy Award–nominated actors will reunite as daughter and father in a thrilling new drama from A24 that has received a straight-to-series order at Netflix. Emmy-winning writer Jack Thorne (Adolescence, Lord of the Flies, Wonder) will write and executive produce, while Brown and Harbour will star and also executive produce.
In the series, disgraced FBI agent turned security expert Matt Wolfe (Harbour) is drawn back into the world he left behind when his estranged daughter, Rebecca (Brown) — now an FBI agent determined to follow in his footsteps — vanishes on a mission, forcing him to return to a field that has evolved beyond him.
“We are delighted to bring this spy drama to life with an extraordinary group of talent we’ve been fortunate to collaborate with before,” says Jinny Howe, Netflix head of scripted series, US and Canada. “Jack Thorne’s ability to find the deeply human story inside a thriller is unmatched, and watching Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour reunite — this time as estranged father and daughter on opposite sides of a crisis — is something audiences are going to love. A24 is the perfect partner to bring this story to our members around the world.”
Jake Bongiovi and Robert Brown will executive produce for PCMA Productions, alongside Joe Hipps and Patrick McDonald for Cut To and KC Wenson for Bravo Axolotl.
The series brings Thorne back to Netflix, following his work on the Emmy- and Golden Globe–winning series Adolescence, which became the No. 2 most popular English-language TV show in Netflix history with 142.6 million views, and his adaptation of William Golding’s classic novel Lord of the Flies.
The untitled thriller joins a powerful lineup of Netflix drama series that includes BEEF, Man on Fire, Nemesis, East of Eden, and The Altruists. The slate will continue with forthcoming series including Rabbit, Rabbit with Adam Driver, Trigger Point with Joel Edgerton, Kennedy with Michael Fassbender, So Far Gone from Mark Bomback, The Roman from Martin Scorsese, The Corrections with Meryl Streep, Alexander with Jacob Tierney, and the adaptation of Charles Burns’s bestselling graphic novel Black Hole.
