BAFTA Award-nominee Callum Turner (Masters of the Air, The Boys in the Boat) has joined the cast of ‘Neuromancer,’ a new 10-episode drama series based on the sci-fi novel of the same name by William Gibson.
Created for television by Graham Roland (Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan) and JD Dillard (The Outsider), ‘Neuromancer’ follows a damaged, top-rung super-hacker named Case (Turner) who is thrust into a web of digital espionage and high stakes crime with his partner Molly, a razor-girl assassin with mirrored eyes, aiming to pull a heist on a corporate dynasty with untold secrets.
Gibson’s debut novel, ‘Neuromancer,’ earned numerous awards, including the Nebula Award, the Philip K. Dick Award, and the Hugo Award. It served as the first book in the Sprawl trilogy, followed by Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive.
The ‘Neuromancer’ series is a co-production between Skydance Television, Anonymous Content, and Apple Studios. It will also be produced by Drake’s DreamCrew Entertainment, with Roland serving as showrunner and Dillard set to direct the pilot episode.
Roland and Dillard will executive produce ‘Neuromancer’ alongside David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Matt Thunell for Skydance Television; Anonymous Content; Drake, Adel ‘Future’ Nur, and Jason Shrier for DreamCrew Entertainment; and Zack Hayden and Gibson.
Turner is represented by WME, Curtis Brown Group, and Johnson, Shapiro, Slewett & Kole.
