Collider reports that Emmy Award-nominated actor Dylan Baker (The Good Wife), Jerrika Hinton (Grey’s Anatomy), Greg Austin (Class), Catherine Tate (The Office), Tiffany Boone (Beautiful Creatures), and Saul Rubinek (Warehouse 13) are in final negotiations to join the cast of Jordan Peele’s upcoming drama series The Hunt. In addition, Academy Award nominees Lena Olin (Enemies) and Carol Kane (Hester Street) are also in talks to appear in the series.
They would be joining previously announced cast members Logan Lerman as Jonah Heidelbaum and Al Pacino, making it his first-ever television role.
The series has been given a direct-to-series order and will have 10 hour-long episodes. The Hunt will tell the story of a group known as the Hunters living in New York City in 1977. The Hunters discover that hundreds of former high-ranking Nazi officials are living among them and conspiring to create the Fourth Reich in the U.S. The group then sets out on a bloody quest to bring the Nazis to justice and thwart their new genocidal plans. The story is inspired by real-life events.
