Apple TV today announced it will expand its slate with “Disavowed,” an action-packed thriller led by Emmy and Golden Globe-nominee James Marsden (“Your Friends & Neighbors,” “Paradise”), and created by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway (“Iron Man,” “Uncharted”). The show is an ongoing series based on Marcum & Holloway’s original idea.
Marsden will play legendary CIA Case Officer Brad Griffin, 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 dollar federal bounty on the assassin’s head.
Hailing from Apple Studios, the series will be executive produced by Marcum & Holloway, Tom Spezialy, and James Marsden. Blue Marble Pictures produces, with Theresa Kang and Caroline Garity serving as executive producers. Blue Marble is the company behind Apple’s critically acclaimed series “Pachinko.”
