Natasha Lyonne ("Poker Face") and Matt Berry ("What We Do in the Shadows") are co-creating and starring Sky's new series "Force & Majeure". Writer Tom Scharpling ("Monk", "What We Do in the Shadows") will co-create alongside Lyonne and Berry. Produced by Lyonne's Animal Pictures and Objective Fiction ("The Gold", "Year of the Rabbit") in association with Sky Studios, the show has been described as a "retro-infused, playfully irreverent take on the classic TV action-adventure detective genre".
The series follows a British art expert, Thomas Force (Berry,) and American mercenary Jennifer Majeure (Lyonne). The pair are recruited by an eccentric, justice-obsessed billionaire named Amanda Daventry and find themselves tasked with defeating the evil plans of international villains operating in locations across Europe. But as Force & Majeure team up to defeat the forces of evil, they must also work together to escape the clutches of Amanda, who may not be telling them the whole story.
Writers include Scharpling, Iain Morris ("The Inbetweeners", "Time Bandits") and Cirocco Dunlap ("Russian Doll", "The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy"). The project is expected to be taken to U.S. buyers shortly. NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution will handle international sales on behalf of Sky Studios.
Executive producers include Ben Farrell and Hannah Mackay for Objective Fiction, Lyonne and Max Ferguson for Animal Pictures, Berry, Scharpling, Morris, Dunlap and Alex Moody for Sky.
