Wilson Bethel Joins Dakota Fanning In Apple TV’s Alex Carey Thriller Series

EXCLUSIVE: Wilson Bethel (Untamed, Daredevil: Born Again) is set for a key recurring role opposite Dakota Fanning in Apple TV‘s Alex Cary thriller series. He joins a cast that also includes Stellan Skarsgård, Daryl McCormack, Grace Gummer, Joely Richardson, Susan Kelechi Watson, David Zayas and Louisa Krause.

In the as-yet-untitled series, Fanning stars as an undercover Treasury agent in a multi-billion dollar international conglomerate with world-changing political and criminal tentacles, who becomes conflicted between her mission and a belief that her principal target, the heir apparent to all that corrupt power, is at his core a good man and worthy of her love.

Bethel’s role is under wraps.

Hailing from Sony Pictures Television, the series is executive produced by Cary, who also serves as creator and showrunner under his overall deal with Sony Pictures Television and his FLW Productions banner. Julie Gardner (Lady in the Lake, Doctor Who) executive produces for Bad Wolf America, and Elle Fanning executive produces alongside Dakota Fanning and Brittany Kahan Ward of Lewellen Pictures (Margo’s Got Money Troubles, The Great). Kari Skogland (Smoke, The Handmaid’s Tale) will direct and serve as executive producer.

Bethel recently starred opposite Eric Bana in the hit Netflix crime drama series Untamed and reprised his fan-favorite role as “Bullseye” in Marvel’s Daredevil: Born Again for Disney+. He also can be seen in Imperfect Women opposite Kerry Washington, Elisabeth Moss, and Kate Mara. Bethel will next be seen in a supporting role in Taylor Sheridan’s upcoming feature F.A.S.T. Bethel is repped by Gersh, Vault Entertainment, and Yorn Levine.
