Simon Pegg has been on our watch list for a while now. We most recently saw him in the suped-up series The Boys (2019-2022). And he’s been busy filming the next installment of The Mission Impossible franchise.
On top of that, we can also look for him in the forthcoming six-part drama The Undeclared War, reports Radio Times.
It’s not just Pegg, you can also look for Anglo favorite Mark Rylance. Set in 2024, the story follows a group of GCHQ analysts who are tasked with “fighting a potential cyber attack.”
Channel Four has a released an official synopsis for the series, reading: "The clock is ticking as a battle with high stakes and unpredictable enemies takes place entirely online, with very real consequences. But how do you win a war most of the public don’t know you’re fighting?"
Writer Peter Kosminsky talks about his thought process, saying, “The Undeclared War has been many years in the making. It imagines how the next few years might play out in the domain of cyber warfare – a battle unseen by the public but with potentially devastating consequences.”
Here’s a peek at Pegg in character, looking quite perplexed:
