He may have only just said goodbye to HANNIBAL, but Richard Armitage is now saying hello to Daniel Meyer, his new role in BERLIN STATION, Epix ‘s 10-part contemporary spy series from Paramount TV and Anonymous Content.
Richard Armitage, who has just come off a successful run in HANNIBAL and big screen hit THE HOBBIT, has now bagged the lead in the drama with The Killing‘s Michelle Forbes.
Berlin Station follows Daniel Meyer (Armitage), a newly anointed case officer who has arrived at the CIA foreign station in Berlin to uncover the source of a leak who has supplied information to a whistleblower. Guided by jaded veteran, Case Officer Hector DeJean (Rhys Ifans) — a darkly charming, tenacious agent who works for Chief Steven Frost (Richard Jenkins) — Daniel learns to contend with the rough-and-tumble world of the field agent — agent-running, deception, the dangers and moral compromises. Forbes plays Valerie Edwards, the no-nonsense administrator who serves as a Berlin Station Section Head.
Production on the series is scheduled to begin this autumn and premiere on EPIX in late 2016.
