- Anthony Boyle ("House of Guinness") cast as Ryan, a seducer-for-hire hired to test wealthy clients' partners' fidelity, in Sky's eight-part drama "Charmer," now in production.
- Siena Kelly, Connor Swindells, and Sophie Wilde join the key cast alongside Sam Delich, Vivian Oparah, Neil Maskell, Karan Gill, Sophie Simnett, and Polly Walker.
- Thomas Aspell created and writes the series; Elliot Hegarty ("Ted Lasso," "Rivals") directs, with additional episodes by Melissa Bubnic, Constance Cheng, and Anna Ssemuyaba, and Dionne Edwards directing block two.
- Working Title Television and Story Films produce, with Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Surian Fletcher-Jones, Simon Hatton, David Nath, and Peter Beard among the executive producers.
- The series will air on Sky and Now in the UK and Italy, with international sales handled by NBCUniversal Global TV Distribution.
- Boyle is also set to portray Sam Bankman-Fried in Netflix's "The Altruists," a sharp tonal contrast to his Charmer role as a professional romantic manipulator.
Why it matters: With Working Title attaching Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner and NBCUniversal handling global sales, "Charmer" is positioned as a flagship Sky Original export — and Boyle's casting gives the streamer a lead whose simultaneous SBF role on rival Netflix will likely keep his name in circulation across both services.
