Jason Isaacs (“Harry Potter” films, “Awake“) has been signed to play the lead role in USA Network’s six episode event series “Dig,” an action adventure drama from co-creators and executive producers Tim Kring (“Heroes“) and Gideon Raff (“Homeland“). Isaacs will play Peter, an FBI agent stationed in Jerusalem who, while investigating a murder of a young female archeologist, uncovers a conspiracy 2000 years in the making.
“Dig,” from Universal Cable Productions (UCP) and developed by Keshet in association with BermanBraun, will shoot in Jerusalem as well as in other international locations.
The event series will premiere on USA Network in late 2014.
