Seth MacFarlane, who not long ago criticized Fox News for its “fringe” practices, will now be involved in Showtime’s limited series about the network’s late founder, Roger Ailes.
The Orville star has been cast in The Loudest Voice in the Room, along with Golden Globe nominee Sienna Miller (The Girl), Simon McBurney (The Borgias) and Annabelle Wallis (Peaky Blinders).
As previously reported, Russell Crowe will star as Ailes, while Naomi Watts will portray former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson.
The eight-episode limited series will begin production in New York in November.
