Jamie Dornan will play the lead role of twins in a new Netflix drama.
Unveiled at a 'Next on Netflix' event this evening in London, 'The Undertow' is a crime noir series that will see the Irishman take on the dual roles of identical twins Adam and Lee.
The story begins when Adam's long-estranged brother Lee (both Dornan) comes crashing back into her life, stirring up tension with the former's unhappy wife, Nicola (Mackenzie Davis), with whom the latter also has a "tangled romantic past".
The synopsis reads: "A split-second decision and a terrible accident drives Nicola to protect her children, and over the course of one week, Lee and Nicola are forced together, struggling to maintain a web of secrets and lies.
"Though they can’t ignore their feelings for each other, they both know they’re living on borrowed time."
The series is an English-language remake of a Norwegian crime drama called 'Twin', and appears to have stayed relatively loyal to the earlier show's premise.
In that series, Adam is accidentally killed in a chain of events involving his wife and brother, which result in his identical twin posing as him in an attempt to cover up the death.
'The Undertow' will also star Iain De Caestecker – who recently played Arthur in ITVX's 'The Winter King' – as well as 'Vigil' and 'The Marvels' star Gary Lewis.
It will be helmed by 'Slow Horses' director Jeremy Lovering, and Sarah Dollard (Bridgerton), Kam Odedra (Gangs of London), Hanna Jameson and Scout Cripps will script the series.
Production will star in the Scottish Highlands later this year. A release date is yet to be confirmed.
