TVLine Items: Charlie Cox’s Netflix Spy Gig, American Dad! Renewed and More
Daredevil vet Charlie Cox is headed back to Netflix via the six-part spy drama Treason, also starring Olga Kurylenko (Black Widow, Magic City) and Oona Chaplin (Game of Thrones), our sister site Deadline reports.
The series, from writer Matt Charman (Bridge of Spies), “follows Adam Lawrence, trained and groomed by MI6, whose career seems set,” per Deadline. “But when the past catches up with him in the form of Kara, a Russian spy with whom he shares a complicated past, he is forced to question everything and everyone in his life. A triangular relationship forms between Kara, Adam and his wife, Maddy; three people who are trying to expose each other’s secrets, navigate political and diplomatic relationships, whilst hanging onto their personal lives, and those they love most.”
Cox is known for playing Matt Murdock, aka the hero Daredevil, in the Netflix/Marvel series that concluded in 2018. Earlier this month, Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige hinted that the actor might reprise the role. “If you were to see Daredevil in upcoming things, Charlie Cox, yes, would be the actor playing Daredevil,” Feige said, as cryptic as ever. “Where we see that, how we see that, when we see that, remains to be seen.”

Shout-out to the American Dad renewal. Insane that it’s been on this long – thought it’s Fox cancellation and TBS move would end like CougarTown (still a respectable 3 seasons after ABC), but almost 20 years is truly amazing.
Yay American Dad! Such an amazing and hilarious show. I’m currently binging random seasons on Hulu 😄😄😄
Yay American Dad!!!!!
Stopped watching it years ago because I just can’t stand Roger. He needs to be dead, back on his homeworld or…something.
.
Glad for the fans still into it though.
Yay! More We’re Here … Can’t wait!!!
Letterkenny is hilarious sometimes. Chorin.
