Overview
- Netflix confirmed on Monday that Morgan Spector will play Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon in its straight-to-series adaptation of Dan Brown’s 2025 novel The Secret of Secrets.
- Carlton Cuse is the showrunner and co-creator on the project while Dan Brown is an executive producer, and both are shaping the series’ mix of futuristic science and mystical lore.
- The official logline frames Langdon as racing to rescue a missing scientist and recover a manuscript whose findings could change humanity’s understanding of the mind.
- Reports say Rebecca Hall is in talks for the female lead but Netflix has not confirmed additional casting, and production has no public premiere date or trailer yet.
- Spector will be the third actor to portray Langdon on screen after Tom Hanks and Ashley Zukerman, and his ongoing role on HBO’s The Gilded Age could affect scheduling as Netflix plans the series.
