We know him as Kylo Ren, the troubled son of Han Solo and Leia Organa, but out in the wider world he’s Adam Driver, Oscar nominee and the soon-to-be co-star of The Dealer alongside Oscar winner Jessica Chastain. His first TV series since Girls, Driver returns to television after Academy award nominations for Marriage Story and BlacKkKlansman.
In a very competitive situation, Apple TV+ has landed The Dealer, a Media Res drama starring Oscar winner Jessica Chastain and Oscar nominee Adam Driver, with a straight-to-series order.
The Dealer is executive produced by the A Doll’s House, Part 2 trio of Sam Gold, Lucas Hnath and Sarah Lunnie. Written by Hnath and to be directed by Gold, The Dealer is described as a biting exploration of power, class, seduction and culture set inside the glittering world of the high-end art market, told through the eyes of an aspiring super gallerist, played by Jessica Chastain, and the tangled relationship with her most gifted and unnerving artist, played by Adam Driver.
