Apple TV+ has a reputation for lining up star-driven TV series, and its latest pickup is no exception. Jessica Chastain and Adam Driver are reportedly set to star in The Dealer, a new drama for Apple TV+.
According to Deadline, The Dealer received a straight-to-series order after Apple TV+ outbid offers from rival studios and streamers. The series is about an aspiring super gallerist (Chastain), who is about to get an education in power, class, seduction and culture in the glittering world of the high-end art market. Driver is set to play a gifted and unnerving artist, who has a tangled relationship with Chastains character.
