Overview
- Reports Tuesday said Dylan O’Brien has been cast to play the title role in the pilot Lex and will also serve as an executive producer.
- The project is produced by 20th Television with writer Sean Clements and veteran Paul Simms attached as executive producers alongside O’Brien.
- Lex is described as a comedic conspiracy series about a disgraced former reality star who accidentally films a murder and becomes targeted by powerful forces.
- If picked up to series, Lex would mark O’Brien’s first regular TV role since his six-season run on Teen Wolf after several years focused on feature films.
- The pilot was first ordered in March and remains one of several projects the streamer is evaluating, so a pickup and production schedule have not been decided.
