Apple TV has greenlit the spy thriller series “Disavowed,” starring and executive produced by James Marsden. Multiple outlets report that the series is created by Art Marcum and Matt Holloway, whose previous credits include “Iron Man” and “Uncharted.” The show comes from Apple Studios and Blue Marble Pictures, the company behind Apple TV’s drama series “Pachinko.”
In “Disavowed,” Marsden plays Brad Griffin, a legendary CIA case officer. The premise centers on Griffin being abruptly fired while he is involved in a global hunt for an elusive assassin. As Griffin loses his position, the story follows his efforts to find the killer who is responsible for killing a colleague, with Griffin portrayed as disgraced and driven to continue the investigation outside official channels.
The outlets provide consistent details about the cast and creative team, describing “Disavowed” as an action-leaning thriller set against a worldwide manhunt, produced for Apple TV as a new addition to its scripted lineup.
