Apple TV+ is giving a straight-to-series order to “The Dealer,” an upcoming drama set in the art world starring Jessica Chastain and Adam Driver. The series came to the streamer after what’s been described as a “competitive situation,” according to an insider familiar with the deal.
The drama will be directed by Tony Award-winner Sam Gold and produced by Media Res. Gold previously directed the award-winning musical “Fun Home” as well as revivals of Tennessee Williams’ “The Glass Menagerie” as well as William Shakespeare’s “King Lear” and “Macbeth.”
Set in the world of the high-end art market, “The Dealer” is being described as ” a biting exploration of power, class, seduction,” according to a logline for the project. Chastain will play an aspiring super gallerist who becomes involved in a “tangled relationship” with her most promising yet unnerving artist, who will be played by Driver.
