- Rebecca Hall officially landed the role of Katherine Solomon in the untitled Netflix series based on Dan Brown's The Secret of Secrets, playing opposite her husband Morgan Spector, who is set as Robert Langdon
- Carlton Cuse and Dan Brown are co-creators and executive producers, with Cuse also serving as writer and showrunner; Emma Forman (of Cuse's Genre-Arts) and Zoe Robyn also executive produce
- The series landed at Netflix in May 2025 with a straight-to-series order and will "blend futuristic science with mystical lore," per the streamer's description
- The Secret of Secrets was published by Doubleday on September 9, 2025, following symbologist Langdon racing against ancient forces to rescue a missing scientist and her manuscript about the mind
- The Langdon franchise spans five previous novels (Angels & Demons through Origin), with Tom Hanks portraying Langdon in Ron Howard's film adaptations that have grossed approximately $2.24 billion worldwide as of 2025
- Hall is repped by Julian Belfrage Associates in London, WME, and attorney Gretchen Rush; Deadline first revealed she was in talks earlier this month
Why it matters: Netflix greenlit this adaptation straight-to-series in May 2025, transplanting a franchise whose Tom Hanks films grossed $2.24 billion worldwide into a serialized TV format — and pairing real-life spouses Hall and Spector as Langdon and his girlfriend Katherine Solomon gives the series built-in on-screen chemistry the film versions never had.
