Apple’s upcoming spy series “Safe Houses” has attracted some major talent, with Jennifer Connelly and Ana de Armas currently in negotiations to star. The project comes from Homeland creator and writer Gideon Raff, who is attached as executive producer and showrunner.
Deadline first reported the series’ development and Raff’s involvement.
Apple had no comment on the casting. For de Armas, the film marks her first major TV series after recently signing with WME last month.
The eight-episode series is based on the Dan Fesperman novel an international espionage thriller set in the aftermath of the killing of a high-ranking CIA officer in Madrid. The show is centered on Sofia Jiménez (de Armas), a fugitive agent accused of the crime, and Ambassador Elizabeth Winthrop (Connelly), his widow, as they each investigate the murder from opposite sides, unraveling a vast conspiracy that could upend the balance of global power.
Connelly makes her return to Apple TV after recently starring opposite Joel Edgerton in the TV series Dark Matter. On the film side, she was recently seen in Top Gun: Maverick.
MacDailyNews Take: Of course, de Armas also stars in Apple Original Films’ “Ghosted” which is currently streaming on Apple TV.
