We eagerly await his return as Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian, but before then we may well be seeing Giancarlo Esposito in Jigsaw, a new heist thriller for Netflix that spans 24 years.

Spanning 24 years, the series centers around the largest heist ever attempted, and the vengeance, scheming, loyalties, and betrayals that surround it. It’s loosely inspired by the real story where $70 billion dollars in bonds went missing in downtown Manhattan during Hurricane Sandy.

Giancarlo Esposito, Paz Vega, Rufus Sewell, Tati Gabrielle, Peter Mark Kendall, Rosaline Elbay, Jai Courtney, and Niousha Noor are all set to star in the series, which is currently filming at Netflix Studios: Brooklyn. It is the first production at the streamer’s Bushwick studio

Giancarlo Esposito (he/him) as “Leo Pap” – A natural leader, Leo is whip-smart, intense and driven, with an engineer’s mind and a meticulous eye for detail. He became a thief at a young age — and though he had a chance to get out, he couldn’t stay away from the criminal life and his relapse cost him his family and his freedom. Esposito is repped by ICM and Thruline Entertainment.
