Domhnall Gleeson ("Ex Machina", "Star Wars") will star as co-lead in the FX 10-episode half-hour limited series "The Patient" from Joe Weisberg and Joel Fields, the creative duo behind "The Americans".
The miniseries follows a psychotherapist (Steve Carell) who finds himself held prisoner by a serial killer (Gleeson) with an unusual request: curb his homicidal urges. But unwinding the mind of this man while also dealing with the waves of his own repressed troubles creates a journey perhaps as treacherous as his captivity.
The cast also includes Linda Emond ("Succession"), Laura Niemi ("Justified", "This is Us") and Andrew Leeds ("Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist").
Fields and Weisberg will co-write and executive produce. Carell will produce alongside Caroline Moore, Victor Hsu and Chris Long ("The Americans", "Suspicion"). Long will also direct the first two episodes of the series. Production is currently underway. Kevin Bray ("Succession") and Gwyneth Horder-Payton ("Pam & Tommy") will also direct episodes of the 10-episode series.
Gleeson will next be seen in the HBO limited series "White House Plumbers"
