“Timeless” star Abigail Spencer has been cast as the lead in the Hulu drama pilot “Reprisal,” from “Handmaid’s Tale” executive producer Warren Littlefield and A+E Studios, an individual with knowledge of the production tells TheWrap.
The project is described as a hyper-kinetic revenge tale following a relentless femme fatale (Spencer) who, after being left for dead, leads a vengeful campaign against a bombastic gang of gearheads. Littlefield is executive producing the pilot under his The Littlefield Company banner, along with A+E Studios’ Barry Jossen.
Josh Corbin will pen the script and co-executive produce, with Jonathan Van Tulleken set to direct the project.
