Grace Gummer (“Love Story”), daughter of Meryl Streep, has signed on to join Dakota Fanning in Apple TV’s new thriller series from Alex Cary (“A Spy Among Friends,” “Homeland”) and Sony Pictures Television.
In the as-yet-untitled project, Fanning stars as an undercover Treasury agent embedded in a multi-billion-dollar international conglomerate with vast political and criminal reach. She soon finds herself torn between her mission and a deepening conviction that the heir apparent to the corrupt empire is, at his core, a good man worthy of her love.
Gummer will play the series regular role of Juliana, the oldest child of Stellan Skarsgård’s Brant, who heads up the conglomerate. As previously announced, Daryl McCormack is also set to star.
Apple’s thriller series is exec produced by Cary, who also serves as creator and showrunner under his overall deal with Sony Pictures Television and his FLW Productions banner. Julie Gardner (“Lady in the Lake,” “Doctor Who”) executive produces for Bad Wolf America, alongside and Dakota and Elle Fanning, Brittany Kahan Ward of Lewellen Pictures (“Margo’s Got Money Troubles,” “The Great”), and Kari Skogland (“Smoke,” “The Handmaid’s Tale”), who also directs.
Gummer recently garnered praise for her turn as Caroline Kennedy in FX’s hit limited series “Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette,” created by Connor Hines and executive produced by Hines and Ryan Murphy. She and her co-stars were honored with the Ensemble Tribute at the third annual Gotham TV Awards on June 1st.
