FX has ordered Ex Machina director Alex Garland’s limited series, Devs.
The series will consist of eight episodes, all directed by Garland, and is set to premiere on FX sometime in 2019. The story follows a young computer engineer, Lily Chan, as she investigates her employer, San Francisco tech company Amaya, who she believes murdered her boyfriend.
Sonoya Mizuno (Ex Machina, Maniac, Crazy Rich Asians) will play Chan. Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation, Fargo) will portray Forest, the CEO of Amaya. The rest of the cast includes Jin Ha, Zach Grenier, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Cailee Spaeny, and Alison Pill.
“After reading all 8 scripts and hearing Alex’s brilliant vision and commitment to direct all of the episodes, it was an easy decision to order Devs to series,” said FX Networks CEO John Landgraf.
