Al Pacino is poised to make his TV series debut.
According to The Hollywood Reporter the Hollywood A-lister is in talks to join Amazon’s The Hunt. It received a straight-to-series 10-episode order in May.
The Hunt follows a band of Nazi hunters in New York City circa 1977. They discover that hundreds of high-ranking Nazi officials have made a home in the United States and plan to create a Fourth Reich there, then set out on to hunt and stop them.
If he inks the deal this will be the Oscar-winner’s television debut. The Nazi hunting series hails from Oscar-winning Get Out writer-director Jordan Peele. Should he join, he will star opposite the previously cast Logan Lerman. Pacino will play a veteran Nazi hunter who mentors Lerman’s character.
The Hunt was created by David Weil, who will also write and executive produce.
