Kiefer Sutherland to Star in Espionage Drama Series at Paramount+
Kiefer Sutherland (The Lost Boys, Stand By Me, 24, Designated Survivor) is returning to TV with a new espionage drama set at the streamer Paramount+. The untitled series has received an eight-episode order at the streamer, and it has hired writers John Requa and Glenn Ficarra, who will also direct and executive produce. Sutherland will executive produce in addition to starring.
The series “finds private espionage operative James Weir (Sutherland) in the midst of a battle over the preservation of democracy in a world at odds with misinformation, behavioral manipulation, the surveillance state and the interests that control these extraordinary powers.”
Sutherland said of the series:
“I’ve been an admirer of John Requa and Glenn Ficarra’s unique body of work for some time, and I’m thrilled to be working on this exciting new project with them and Paramount Plus. Reuniting with David Nevins makes it all the more special. I can’t wait to see you all with this show in 2022.”
Sutherland is a solid actor, and has a good track record in roles like this one. This sounds like an interesting series. Will you be giving it a shot?
