After breaking out with the titular role in Netflix’s acclaimed Marvel Cinematic Universe series Luke Cage, Mike Colter has found a new niche in horror as he has joined the upcoming Hulu anthology series Monsterland, marking his second TV genre effort after CBS’ Evil (via Deadline).
The series, produced by Annapurna TV, is described as following “broken people driven to desperate acts in an attempt to repair their lives” and will feature encounters with mermaids, fallen angels and a variety of other mythical creatures and horrors.
Colter found his first bit of stardom with a key role on CBS’ The Good Wife and followed it up with roles in The CW’s Ringer and Fox’s The Following before co-starring in the first season of Netflix’s Jessica Jones as fellow comic book character Luke Cage.
After reprising his Good Wife role on the CBS All Access sequel series, The Good Fight, he continued his relationship with the network by landing a lead role on their supernatural horror series Evil, which received rave reviews from critics and scored a second season order from CBS.
