What Happened

The series follows CIA Case Officer Brad Griffin (played by Marsden) who is fired during a global hunt for an assassin responsible for killing his colleague.

Art Marcum and Matt Holloway, who were credited writers on the 2008 film 'Iron Man', provided the original idea for the show and serve as executive producers.

Why this Matters to You
If you enjoy suspenseful, character-driven thrillers, you may have a new series to look forward to on Apple TV+. The involvement of writers from major action films like 'Iron Man' suggests the show could have a polished, high-stakes narrative. As a viewer, you might see Marsden in a new, intense role distinct from his recent Emmy-nominated comedic and dramatic performances.
What's Next
The series will move into production. Given the established production team and Marsden's ongoing schedule—he recently joined the second season of 'Your Friends & Neighbors' and will reprise his role as Cyclops in 'Avengers: Doomsday'—'Disavowed' is likely to be a prominent addition to Apple TV+'s thriller offerings.
