STUDIOCANAL owns the rights for both Walter Tevis’ book as well as the iconic Nicolas Roeg film with David Bowie.
The series is being co-produced by CBS Television Studios and TANDEM Productions, a STUDIOCANAL Company, in association with Secret Hideout and Timberman/Beverly.
The ensemble roster for Showtime’s series adaptation of Walter Tevis’ iconic sci-fi novel The Man Who Fell to Earth is continuing to expand as Lodge 49 alum Sonya Cassidy has signed on to join the Chiwetel Ejiofor-led cast, according to Deadline.
The David Bowie-led film was directed by Nicolas Roeg on a screenplay written by Paul Mayersberg and marked the late musician’s first starring role in a feature film.
