Carnival Row is going to be one of next year’s sleeper hits, we’re calling it now. Produced by Rene Echevarria, Travis Beacham, Paul McGuigan and Legendary Television it’s a fantasy noir series set in a neo-gothic city. Mythical creatures have had to flee their war torn homeland and tensions are rising between them and the native population. And then, as the saying goes, the murders begin…

Orlando Bloom is on board to star and now he’s been joined by Alice Krige (The OA, Star Trek) and Jared Harris (Basically every genre series ever but start with his work in The Expanse). Krige will play a witch like clairvoyant called Haruspex who has very bad news for the city while Harris will play Absalom Breakspear, the embattled and imperious Chancellor of the city. And owner of the best name EVER.

The series is being produced by Amazon and is set to arrive in 2019. More as soon as we get it.
