After soaring into cinemas this weekend as Carol Danvers in Captain Marvel, actress Brie Larson has now signed on to produce and star in an as-yet-untitled CIA drama for Apple.
As revealed by THR, the series will be based on the real-life exploits of CIA operative Amaryllis Fox, as told in her upcoming memoir Life Undercover: Coming of Age in the CIA.
Described as “a provocative and contemporary look at a young woman’s journey in the CIA, told through the prism of her closest relationships”, the project has received a straight-to-series order from Apple, which snapped up the rights following a competitive bidding war.
Megan Martin (Animal Kingdom) is set to write the script for the series, as well as executive producing with Larson, Michael Ellenberg (Prometheus) and Lynette Howell Taylor (A Star Is Born).
Oscar-winner Larson previously appeared on the small screen in Showtime’s United States of Tara and WB Network’s Raising Dad. She will next be seen on the big screen in Avengers: Endgame, reprising her role as Captain Marvel.
