Sky One has added Adam Brody (‘The OC’) to the already impressive cast list of their upcoming street racing drama ‘Curfew‘ it has been announced.
The drama, which follows the story of ordinary people and extraordinary characters competing in the world’s fastest, most furious illegal night-time street race, sees Brody take on the role of a mysterious megalomaniac millionaire, Max Larssen.
He joins a stellar cast which includes Sean Bean (‘Game of Thrones’), Adrian Lester (‘Riviera’), Phoebe Fox (‘Blue Iguana’), Malachi Kirby (‘Roots’), Billy Zane (‘Titanic’), Miranda Richardson (‘Churchill’), Harriet Walter (‘The Crown’), Michael Biehn (‘Aliens’), Robert Glenister (‘Hustle’), Aimee-Ffion Edwards (Peaky Blinders), Rose Williams (‘Reign’), Elijah Rowen (‘Vikings’) and Guz Khan (‘Man Like Mobeen’).
“The ‘Curfew’ scripts came my way and I couldn’t stop reading,” commented Brody. “I loved the outsized personality it had. It’s bleak, hopeful, violent, funny and tender all at the same time. It’s a joy to work with such a talented group of performers and downright lovely human beings. Max Larssen is unlike any character I’ve played and it was a thrill to try to access such an intelligent and remote individual.”
Along with starring as Seth in ‘The OC’, Brody has also popped up in ‘House of Lies’, ‘The League’, ‘StartUp’, and the ‘CHIPS’ movie.
The 8-episode series comes from writer/producer Matthew Read (‘Pusher’), who previously has exec produced on shows such as ‘McMafia’, ‘Taboo’, and ‘Gunpowder’. The series is executive produced for Tiger Aspect Productions by Will Gould and Frith Tiplady in association with their new independent production company Moonage Pictures. It is directed by Colm McCarthy (‘The Girl with All the Gifts’, ‘Peaky Blinders’) and is produced by Simon Maloney (‘Peaky Blinders’).
‘Curfew‘ premieres exclusively in the UK on Sky One and TV streaming service NOW TV in 2019, and will air in the US on Spectrum Originals in 2019.
