As reported by Deadline, Hulu’s upcoming limited series Immigrant has added a new cast member in Dan Stevens (Eurovision Song Contest: The Story Of Fire Saga).
The series, created by Robert Siegel (Pam & Tommy), will tell the story of Somen “Steve” Banerjee, the Indian-American entrepreneur who started the male striptease dance troupe Chippendales and promises to “detail the insane, darkly comedic, crime-ridden story behind the unique male revue that became a cultural phenomenon.”
Kumail Nanjiani (Eternals) is portraying Banerjee, as well as executive producing the series, while Stevens will play Paul Snider, described as “a hustler and serial schmoozer [who] stumbles upon the opportunity of a lifetime in the form of Steve Banerjee (Nanjiani) and his struggling LA backgammon club. Through their unlikely partnership, the iconic male stripping institution Chippendales is born.”
Nanjiani and Stevens are joined in the cast of Immigrant by Murray Bartlett, Annaleigh Ashford, Quentin Plair, Andrew Rannells, and Nicola Peltz.
