STARZ Acquires The Nowhere Man

STARZ has acquired the U.S. rights to The Nowhere Man, executive produced by and starring Power’s Naturi Naughton-Lewis, set to premiere January 16.

“We’re thrilled to be reunited with Naturi, an extraordinary talent viewers know and love,” said Alison Hoffman, president of STARZ Networks. “The Nowhere Man is a powerful addition to our action lineup, and with our audience eager for the next high-octane thrill ride, this show delivers.”

The Nowhere Man was created by Motion Story and produced by Phillip Wolmarans and Nick Keulemans. Fred Wolmarans and Gareth Crocker directed, with Crocker serving as showrunner. Additional executive producers include Chris Lawrance, Colleen Lawrance, Sean Mik’ael Butler, Naturi Naughton-Lewis and Two Lewis.

The six-part drama series stars Naughton-Lewis and Bonko Khoza and follows a tormented ex-mercenary, Lukas (Khoza), who is drawn back into a world of violence after he witnesses a home invasion.

“The Nowhere Man represents an exciting evolution for me as both an actress and executive producer, and I’m thrilled to have my company, Take Two Entertainment, as part of this incredible team,” said Naughton-Lewis. “It’s especially meaningful to be reunited with my STARZ family to tell a bold, action-packed, globally relevant story. I can’t wait for audiences to dive in headfirst.”
