Discovery Channel announced today that Sam Worthington (Hacksaw Ridge, Avatar) has been cast in its upcoming scripted series Manifesto, set to air next year.
Manifesto will trace how Jim “Fitz” Fitzgerald challenged the “old school” ways with his radical new approach to intelligence gathering.
Manifesto is produced with Lionsgate and Trigger Street Productions.
Manifesto is from Kevin Spacey and Dana Brunetti’s Trigger Street and writer Andrew Sodroski, who topped Hollywood’s famed Black List for screenplays in 2013 with “Holland, Michigan.”
