Aliona Adrianova Bill Nighy has joined the cast of Alfonso Cuarón upcoming horror thriller series “Ascension” at Apple TV, Variety has learned.
Nighy will star in the show alongside previously announced lead Caitríona Balfe. It was originally announced with a series pickup at Apple in August and is inspired by the novel “Last Days” by Adam Nevill.
The logline for the series states that it follows Rose (Balfe), “a relentless documentary filmmaker and recently divorced mother, brilliant at uncovering others’ truths but struggling to resolve her own. When Rose begins a project on a mysterious 20th-century cult known as the Church of Ascension, she finds unexpected refuge in its teachings – until she discovers something far more insidious beneath.”
