Slow Horses star Jack Lowden is set to star in another show for Apple TV Plus. The actor, who is best known for playing River Cartwright in the streamer's hit spy thriller, is said to be taking a lead role in an upcoming adaptation of Philip Kerr's Berlin Noir novels, according to Deadline.
The currently untitled drama is said to be primarily based on Metropolis – the final instalment of Kerr's 14-volume series about detective Bernie Gunther, a WW1 veteran who now works as a private eye. Although starting at the end of the Berlin Noir books might seem like a slightly odd decision, Metropolis is actually a prequel to the rest of the series, and follows Gunther in his early days fighting crime on the streets of Berlin in 1928.
