While Holland will portray Danny Sullivan, a character who is based on the first person acquitted of a crime because of multiple personality disorder. Rossum will step in as Danny’s mother, who, according to The Hollywood Reporter, is always looking for a man to fulfill her dreams.
The series from creator Akiva Goldsman and director Kornél Mundruczó will be executive produced by both. Announced earlier in 2021, Rossum is the latest casting announcement in a string of updates as it was recently unveiled that Amanda Seyfried is also set to feature in the series produced for Apple Studios and New Regency. Also attached to the series as executive producers are Alexandra Milchan, Arnon Milchan, Yariv Milchan, and Michael Schaefer.
Emmy Rossum is best known for her role as Fiona Gallagher on Showtime‘s recently-wrapped long-running comedy Shameless. She’ll appear as the titular individual in Peacock‘s forthcoming limited series Angelyne which tells the story of the real-life billboard icon of Los Angeles.
