Hulu has announced that “Hannibal” star Hugh Dancy will be joining the cast of their original series “The Way” alongside Aaron Paul and Michelle Monaghan.
“The Way” examines a family at the center of a controversial movement struggling with relationships, marriage and power, with each episode taking an in-depth look at what it means to choose between the life we live and the life we want.
Dancy will play a character named “Cal Roberts,” the charismatic face of The Way, entangled in a complicated relationship with two other members of the movement, Sarah (Michelle Monaghan) and her conflicted husband, Eddie (Aaron Paul). Cal will battle personal demons and bold ambition as he strives to take the organization into its next generation.
“The Way” is scheduled to shoot in New York this September. The 10 episode series, slated to premiere early next year, comes to Hulu from Universal Television and Jason Katims’ True Jack Productions and was created by Jessica Goldberg, who will write and executive-produce the series, along with Katims and Michelle Lee of True Jack Productions.
