Domhnall Gleeson will star opposite Steve Carell in FX's ThePatient, a new half-hour series from the duo behind TheAmericans
stars Carell as Alexander Strauss, a psychotherapist who finds himself held prisoner by a serial killer with an unusual request: curb his homicidal urges. Unwinding the mind of this man while also dealing with the waves of his own repressed troubles creates a journey for Alexander that’s perhaps as treacherous as his captivity.
The 10-episode series comes from FX Productions. Fields and Weisberg are writing and executive produce with Carell, Caroline Moore, Victor Hsu and Long., which he also co-created with brother Brian Gleeson and Michael Moloney. He’ll next be in HBO’s Watergate series, playing Nixon White House counsel John Dean. He’s repped by Paradigm and The Agency.
Emond is repped by CAA; Niemi by Stride Management and HRI Talent; Leeds by CAA and Management 360; Long by WME and Rain Management; Bray by CAA, 3 Arts and Goodman Genow; and Horder-Payton by Artists First.
