Back in March it was announced that FX had ordered a pilot for Devs, a drama from Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation), and now comes word that the cable network has granted the project an eight-episode limited series order and put it on the fast track.
Devs will reunite Garland with Ex Machina’s Sonoya Mizuno, who plays Lily Chan, a young computer engineer who investigates the secretive development division of her employer, a cutting-edge tech company based in San Francisco, which she believes is behind the disappearance of her boyfriend.
Mizuno will be joined in the cast by Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation), Jin Ha (Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert), Zach Grenier (Fight Club), Stephen McKinley Henderson (Lady Bird), Cailee Spaeny (Pacific Rim: Uprising) and Alison Pill (American Horror Story).
“After reading all eight scripts and hearing Alex’s brilliant vision and commitment to direct all of the episodes, it was an easy decision to order Devs to series,” said FX’s John Landgraf. “Alex is a visionary artist who with his partners has put together a stellar cast. We are grateful to Alex, Andrew, Allon, Scott, Eli and the brilliant casting team led by Carmen Cuba.”
