Meanwhile, Nicole Kidman’s role which was announced just last week is of a veteran CIA Senior Supervisor named Kaitlyn Made.

The series was created by Sheridan who walked in for Thomas Brady after the befall led the previous producers to split ways in agreement. Apart from Kidman, Saldaña, Sheridan, and Wagner as executive producers of the program, David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin, Geyer Kosinski, Michael Malone, and John Hillcoat will also work alongside each other.
Emmy-Nominated star Morgan Freeman was recently seen as part of the new anthology series named Solos and in a program for children called The Electric Company. He also previously worked on Princess of the Row, Madam Secretary, and The Killing of Kenneth Chamberlain as co-executive producers. This year seems to be promising for Morgan Freeman. In the coming March, the artist will be hitting the big screens with A Good Person directed by Zach Braff, and co-stars Florence Pugh.
