Stellan Skarsg\u00e5rd has been spotted filming an exciting new spy thriller series<\/a>. The untitled Apple TV<\/a> show was announced earlier this year, and is set to co-star Dakota Fanning.<\/p>\n

Created by Homeland’s Alex Cary, the story focuses on “an undercover Treasury agent in a multibillion-dollar international conglomerate with world-changing political and criminal tentacles”.<\/p>\n

However, Fanning’s character “becomes conflicted between her mission and a belief that her principal target, the heir apparent to all that corrupt power, is at his core a good man and worthy of her love”.<\/p>\n

Skarsg\u00e5rd can be seen in new filming pictures dressed in a black suit and tie alongside co-stars Grace Gummer and Joely Richardson, presumably for a funeral scene.<\/p>\n

Alongside the aforementioned stars, the series also features Peaky Blinders’ Daryl McCormack, The Girlfriend Experience’s Louisa Krause and This Is Us’ Susan Kelechi Watson.<\/p>\n

The series comes off the back of a stellar year for Skarsg\u00e5rd, who earned an Oscar nomination for his role in Sentimental Value, which co-starred Dakota’s sister Elle.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, back in February the actor cast doubt on a return as Bill Anderson<\/a> in a potential third Mamma Mia! movie. <\/p>\n

“Oh, yeah. I mean, I don’t know if they’ll be able to transport me to the set!” he quipped to Gold Derby<\/a>. “I’m so old, I’ll probably be dead when it happens. I’ll come as ashes and play it from an urn.”<\/p>\n

He also reflected on how he is now compared to his younger days as an actor, sharing: “As a younger actor, you are more at the mercy of the director, because the director doesn’t ask you [about your performance]. You come in like nobody, and they say: ‘Stand over there’.<\/p>\n

“Eventually, when you have a couple of years under your wings, then they’ll say, ‘What do you think?'”<\/p>\n

The currently untitled series will air on Apple TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n
