The show is set to premiere this fall in the United States and the United Kingdom on the streaming platform, Amazon Freevee.

Outside those territories, it will be available on Prime Video.

"We are beyond excited to have an actor of Mischa's caliber join us for the beginning of this exciting new chapter," executive producer James Herbison said in a statement Monday.
