Dakota Fanning’s next drama series will be shot in the Empire State. Filming for the Apple TV+ thriller show ‘Ella Morgan’ will take place in New York and France between July and December this year. The cast also includes Stellan Skarsgård, Daryl McCormack, and Grace Gummer. Alex Cary is the creator and writer. Kari Skogland will direct. The story follows an undercover Treasury agent (Fanning) who works in a multibillion-dollar international conglomerate with world-changing political and criminal tentacles. She becomes conflicted between her mission and a belief that her principal target, the heir apparent to all that corrupt power, is, at his core, a good man and worthy of her love.
Dakota Fanning rose to fame with her performances in movies like ‘Man on Fire,’ ‘War of the Worlds,’ and the Twilight Saga. Her roles in the last decade have made her a go-to choice for mind-bending projects. From Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ to Gary Ross’s ‘Ocean’s 8’ to Ishana Night Shyamalan’s ‘The Watchers’ to the Netflix drama ‘The Perfect Couple’ to Bryan Bertino’s ‘Vicious,’ her range knows no bounds. We last saw her as Jenny Kaminski in the Peacock mystery show ‘All Her Fault,’ and as Margo Millet in Apple TV+’s ‘Margo’s Got Money Troubles,’ which has been renewed for a second season.
Next in line for Fanning is Michael Morris’s historical feature ‘The Nightingale,’ which is undergoing post-production. It centers on two sisters living in France who are torn apart at the onset of World War II. It is based on Kristin Hannah’s novel and also stars Dakota Fanning, Mark Rylance, Douglas Hodge, and Shira Haas. She is also cast in a yet-untitled Apple TV+ thriller series created by Alex Carl. The show will follow an undercover Treasury agent in a multi-billion dollar conglomerate with criminal tentacles who becomes conflicted between her mission and believing her target, the heir to corrupt power, is worthy of her love. The cast also includes Stellan Skarsgård, Grace Gummer, Susan Kelechi Watson, and Daryl McCormack. The show is currently undergoing production.
New York served as the filming base for shows like ‘Memory of a Killer,’ ‘Severance,’ ‘The Night Agent,’ ‘Dexter: Resurrection,’ and ‘Only Murders in the Building.’
