Apple TV Greenlights Spy Thriller ‘Disavowed’ Starring James Marsden

The order signals Apple’s push for star-led thrillers from marquee film talent.

Overview

  • Disavowed, which Apple greenlit Wednesday, will star James Marsden as CIA case officer Brad Griffin.
  • In the story, Griffin is fired during a global hunt for an assassin who killed his colleague and he pursues a $15 million federal bounty.
  • The series is based on an original idea by Art Marcum and Matt Holloway, who will executive produce with Tom Spezialy and Marsden, with Blue Marble Pictures and Apple Studios producing.
  • Outlets report there is no premiere date yet, and Deadline says casting began last July before an eight month path to the greenlight.
  • This marks Marcum and Holloway’s first TV series and extends Marsden’s ongoing work with Apple after Your Friends & Neighbors.
