Joe Otterson TV Reporter Callum Turner has been cast in the lead role of the series adaptation of the William Gibson novel “Neuromancer” at Apple TV+, Variety has learned.
The series was originally announced in February. Per the official description, the 10-episode drama follows “a damaged, top-rung super-hacker named Case (Turner) who is thrust into a web of digital espionage and high stakes crime with his partner Molly, a razor-girl assassin with mirrored eyes, aiming to pull a heist on a corporate dynasty with untold secrets.” This will mark the second starring role in an Apple series for Turner.
Previously, he starred in the World War II series “Masters of the Air” alongside a cast that included Austin Butler and Barry Keoghan.
The show debuted on the streaming arm of the tech giant earlier this year. He has also starred in shows like “Glue” and the 2016 BBC series version of “War & Peace.” In film, Turner is known for his work in the “Fantastic Beasts” franchise as well as features such as “Queen and Country,” “Green Room,” and “The Boys in the Boat.” He is repped by WME, Curtis Brown Group, and Johnson, Shapiro, Slewett & Kole. “Neurmancer” hails from co-creators Graham Roland and JD Dillard.
