The Lord's Day Will Be Something To Keep An Eye On

In The Lord's Day: "The government of the United Kingdom has been taken hostage, and Parliament is now enemy territory. Fortunately, the hostage takers aren't alone. Also prowling the august halls is ex-spy Harry Jones, played by Damson Idris (F1, Snowfall, Outside the Wire). Harry is the perfect man to pull the UK government back from the brink. Or he would be, if he wasn't also a convicted traitor. On the State Opening of Parliament, British spy Harry Jones (Damson Idris) finds himself inside the Palace of Westminster amid a lockdown. As a hostage siege escalates, loyalties are tested and selfless sacrifices are made, leading to a desperate fight for survival where not everyone will emerge alive. Can Harry use his skills and training to be the country's savior? Adapted from a novel by Michael Dobbs (House of Cards), this is a fast-paced action thriller set in the heart of British power."

This sounds like it could be pretty great, especially from that creative team. It goes without saying that Idris is one of the most exciting young talents in the industry at the moment, and this could be the type of project that gets him over the hump. More on this as we learn it.
