EXCLUSIVE: Apple TV has given a series order to a thriller starring and executive produced by Dakota Fanning (All Her Fault).
The untitled project, from creator by Alex Cary (Homeland) and Sony Pictures Television, landed at Apple TV in a competitive situation last year. The streamer commissioned a writers room, which has now led to a series greenlight.
Fanning will star as an undercover Treasury agent in a multibillion-dollar international conglomerate, with world-changing political and criminal tentacles, who becomes conflicted between her mission and a belief that her principal target, the heir apparent to all that corrupt power, is at his core a good man and worthy of her love.
Cary serves as showrunner and executive producer under his overall deal with Sony Pictures TV, the studio on the series, and his FLW Productions banner. Julie Gardner (Lady in the Lake) executive produces for Bad Wolf America, and Fanning executive produces alongside Elle Fanning and Brittany Kahan Ward of Lewellen Pictures (The Great). Kari Skogland (Smoke) also executive produces and will direct.
Fanning is coming off starring opposite Sarah Snook in the breakout Peacock limited series All Her Fault. She also had lead roles in two 2024 Netflix limited series, Ripley and The Perfect Couple. Through Lewellen Pictures, Dakota Fanning is executive producing the upcoming Apple TV series Margo’s Got Money Troubles, starring and executive produced by Elle Fanning. She is repped by UTA, TFC Management and Hansen Jacobson Teller.
Cary served as co-executive producer and subsequently executive producer on Homeland, sharing in its 2012 Outstanding Drama Series Emmy win. At Sony TV, he wrote and executive produced the Cold War thriller limited series A Spy Among Friends, starring Guy Pearce and Damian Lewis, which was carried by MGM+ in the U.S. Cary is repped by WME.
