EXCLUSIVE: Sebastian Koch (Never Look Away, Black Book) has joined the cast of Apple TV‘s Disavowed, the upcoming action-thriller created by Art Marcum and Matt Holloway.
Koch will play a series regular role, though details are under wraps. He joins the previously announced stars, led by James Marsden, Norman Reedus, Sylvia Hoeks, Bokeem Woodbine, Noma Dumezweni, Daniel Zovatto, Mia Tharia and Sonita Henry.
Disavowed follows legendary CIA Case Officer Brad Griffin (Marsden), who is abruptly fired in the middle of a global hunt for an elusive assassin responsible for killing his colleague. Disgraced and outcast from the world of intelligence, all bets are off when Brad decides to go after the $15 million federal bounty on the assassin’s head.
Hailing from Apple Studios, the series is executive produced by Marcum & Holloway, Tom Spezialy, Michelle MacLaren, Rebecca Hobbs and Marsden. Blue Marble Pictures (Pachinko) produces, with Theresa Kang and Caroline Garity serving as executive producers. MacLaren (The Morning Show, Breaking Bad) will direct the first two episodes and serve as executive producer alongside Hobbs under her overall deal with Apple TV.
Koch’s credits include Paul Verhoeven’s Black Book (2006), Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies (2015), Tom Hooper’s The Danish Girl (2015) and Paul Weitz’s Bel Canto (2017). In the fifth and sixth seasons of Showtime’s Homeland, he played the German entrepreneur Otto Düring. His upcoming projects include Matt Reeves’ The Batman: Part II and Gabriele Salvatores’ The Luneberg Variant.
He is repped by The Artist Partnership (UK) and Agentur Schlag (Germany).
