Adam Brody Joins The Cast Of Sky One's 'Curfew'

American actor Adam Brody has joined the cast of Sky One's upcoming drama series 'Curfew'.

Mr Brody, known for playing Seth Rohen on 'The O.C.', will assume the role of mysterious megalomaniac millionaire, Max Larssen, in the new drama.

He joins previously announced cast members Sean Bean ('Game of Thrones'), Adrian Lester ('Riviera'), Phoebe Fox ('Blue Iguana'), Malachi Kirby ('Roots'), Billy Zane ('Titanic') and Miranda Richardson ('Churchill').

'Curfew' follows the story of ordinary people and extraordinary characters competing in the world's fastest, most furious illegal night-time street race.

Mr Brody said: "The 'Curfew' scripts came my way and I couldn't stop reading; I loved the outsized personality it had. It's bleak, hopeful, violent, funny and tender all at the same time. It's a joy to work with such a talented group of performers and downright lovely human beings. Max Larssen is unlike any character I've played and it was a thrill to try to access such an intelligent and remote individual."

The eight-part series from Tiger Aspect Productions in association with Moonage Pictures will be available exclusively in the UK on Sky One and TV streaming service NOW TV in 2019. 'Curfew' will premiere exclusively in the US on Spectrum Originals in 2019.

'Curfew' is written and executive produced by Matthew Read ('Pusher'). The series is executive produced for Tiger Aspect Productions by Will Gould and Frith Tiplady in association with their new independent production company Moonage Pictures. It is directed by Colm McCarthy ('The Girl with All the Gifts', 'Peaky Blinders') and is produced by Simon Maloney ('Peaky Blinders').

Curfew was commissioned for Sky by head of drama Anne Mensah and director of programming for Sky Entertainment UK & Ireland Zai Bennett. Sky Vision will handle distribution rights.
