According to reports from EbMaster, Jeremy Strong is slated to headline the Netflix series adaption of Ira Levin’s novel “The Boys From Brazil.
The project, originally conceived by Peter Morgan – renowned for his Emmy-winning Netflix show “The Crown” – is being adapted by Morgan himself. He will also serve as an executive producer alongside Suzanne Mackie from Orchid Pictures in this endeavor.
Reps for Netflix declined to comment.
Back in 2024, Morgan openly discussed his plans for a new adaptation of “The Boys From Brazil” during an interview with EbMaster. This novel initially hit shelves back in 1976, and it was later transformed into a movie featuring Gregory Peck and Laurence Olivier in 1978.
In the book, private investigator Yakov Liebermann gets word that infamous doctor Josef Mengele, also known as the “Angel of Death,” is still alive and hiding in Brazil under another name. Eager to find him, Liebermann journeys to South America, but soon uncovers a dark plot instead.
According to sources, Strong would star as Liebermann, who was played by Olivier in the film.
After “Succession,” Strong’s first recurring role as a main character on television has come up. Since the conclusion of this critically acclaimed HBO series, where Strong played Kendall Roy across all four seasons, he has not held a similar position. His performance on the show garnered widespread recognition, earning him an Emmy for Best Actor in a Drama Series out of three nominations. In addition, he won a Golden Globe Award for the same category in 2022. Currently, Strong is nominated for his first Academy Award for portraying Roy Cohn in the film “The Apprentice,” opposite Sebastian Stan as a young Donald Trump. Known for his roles in films like “The Big Short,” “Zero Dark Thirty,” and “Parkland,” Strong continues to make an impact in the entertainment industry.
In 2023, I bid farewell to “The Crown,” a series that graced Netflix for six seasons. As a dedicated fan, I followed its journey closely, with Peter Morgan serving as the mastermind behind it all. This show is one of the crown jewels in Netflix’s collection, earning an impressive 24 Emmys out of 94 nominations, including the prestigious award for best drama series in 2021.
Peter Morgan is no stranger to acclaim, having been instrumental in creating Oscar-nominated films such as “The Queen” and “Frost/Nixon.” His other works include “The Last King of Scotland,” “Rush,” and “The Other Boleyn Girl.” I eagerly await his next project.
Strong is repped by WME and Sugar23. Morgan is repped by Independent Talent Group and UTA.
Deadline first reported Strong’s casting.
