Matthew Fox Set to Star in New Drama Series THE ASSASSIN
Lost star Matthew Fox is set to star in a new drama series coming to Max titled The Assassin, which comes from writer and producer John Glenn (SEAL Team).
The series is based on the book series by Tom Wood, the story of which centers on “a merciless assassin known only as Victor (Fox), who after being betrayed by an anonymous client, finds himself hunted across the globe by multiple enemies, including relentless CIA operatives and a contract killer equally as deadly.
“To stay alive, Victor must uncover the identity of his betrayer while grappling with a buried spark of humanity that begins to resurface within him and might just be the greatest threat to his survival.”
Glenn, who will serve as showrunner, executive produces alongside Fox and Wood. Gaumont’s President Nicolas Atlan and SVP, Creative Affairs Holly Brown will exec produce for the company, along with Geoff Shaevitz and William Choi for Entertainment 360.
Fox is best known for his role as Dr. Jack Shephard on the ABC series Lost. He most recently starred opposite Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, and Travis Fimmel in the comedy series C*A*U*G*H*T for Australian streamer Stan.
He also executive produced and starred in the genre-bending limited series Last Light for Peacock. In film, Fox’s credits include Bone Tomahawk, Emperor, We Are Marshall and Speed Racer.
