Apple TV+ Announces Thriller The Wanted Man with Hugh Laurie
Apple TV+ is expanding its drama slate with The Wanted Man, an international thriller starring Hugh Laurie. Scheduled for an eight-episode arc, it follows a retired detective drawn into a high-stakes investigation that spans multiple countries. Created by Nicholas Cornwell (son of spy novelist John le Carré) and directed by Susanne Bier, the show promises a blend of espionage and murder mystery elements. Laurie, known for House and comedic roots, makes a notable return to series television. Production is underway, with Apple aiming for a 2026 debut.
What this means for you:
Prepare for a binge-worthy series featuring a strong cast and cinematic storytelling, possibly appealing to fans of sophisticated thrillers.
Expect a le Carré–inspired realism—this show may offer more nuanced espionage than typical action fare.
In the meantime, keep an eye on Apple TV+ deals if you want to sample new original content.
