Brie Larson will star in a new original drama series about a CIA operative for Apple
Apple has just lined up another Oscar winner for its streaming service.
Brie Larson, who won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 2016 and is about to make her superhero debut in Captain Marvel, will star in and produce a new TV series for Apple's streaming service, per The Hollywood Reporter. The show will be a CIA drama based on the true story of undercover operative Amaryllis Fox, as chronicled in her upcoming book Life Undercover: Coming of Age in the CIA.
This is just the latest major name to join forces with Apple — Academy Award winners Damien Chazelle, Steven Spielberg, Octavia Spencer, and Reese Witherspoon also have projects in the works. Some of the other major gets for various pieces of Apple programming include Jennifer Aniston, Steve Carell, J.J. Abrams, and M. Night Shyamalan.
