Kiefer Sutherland will star in an untitled espionage drama for Paramount+.
The series finds private espionage operative James Weir (Sutherland) in the midst of a battle over the preservation of democracy in a world at odds with misinformation, behavioral manipulation, the surveillance state and the interests that control these extraordinary powers.
Sutherland will executive produce alongside John Requa and Glenn Ficarra, who will write and direct the series. Charlie Gogolak and Suzan Bymel will also executive produce.
“I’ve been an admirer of John Requa and Glenn Ficarra’s unique body of work for some time, and I’m thrilled to be working on this exciting new project with them and Paramount+,” Sutherland said.
