Brie Larson Series Lands with Apple

Apple has ordered an original drama series starring and executive produced by Brie Larson (Captain Marvel, Room).

Apple is going straight to series with the drama. Through the studio Media Res, the untitled Brie Larson project is based on the real-life experiences of CIA undercover operative Amaryllis Fox and her upcoming memoir Life Undercover: Coming of Age in the CIA.

Lynette Howell Taylor (A Star Is Born) through her 51 Entertainment banner will executive produce, alongside Larson. Michael Ellenberg will also serve as executive producer through his studio Media Res. Amaryllis Fox will produce and provide additional background material for the project. Howell Taylor, Ellenberg and Larson joined forces to acquire the book and Fox’s life rights through Media Res.

Megan Martin (Animal Kingdom) is in final negotiations to write and executive produce the project. Samantha Housman will serve as executive producer through 51 Entertainment, and Dani Gorin serves as co-executive producer through Media Res.
