In the novel, Robert Langdon (Spector), an esteemed symbologist, races against ancient forces and time to rescue his girlfriend, missing scientist Katherine Solomon (Hall), whose groundbreaking manuscript contains discoveries that have the power to forever change humanity's understanding of the mind. The yet-to-be-titled TV series will blend futuristic science with mystical lore, delivering on the heart-pounding suspense and international intrigue that have made the Langdon stories a global phenomenon.

Cherry Jones (HBO's Succession) has been tapped to play Heide Nagel, a U.S. Ambassador in Prague involved in a secret project led by Corey Stoll's (Showtime's Billions) former CIA agent, Everett Finch. Rob Delaney's (FX's Dying for Sex) Jonas Faukman is an editor who gets caught up in a sticky situation, while Abbey Lee's (Netflix's Black Rabbit) Sasha Vesna is a research assistant for scientist Dr. Gessner, with whom she shares a bond.

Regarding Brown's literary success, the Langdon series has collectively sold more than 250 million copies and been translated into 56 languages. Having co-created the series with Cuse, Brown will also serve as a writer and executive producer. Cuse will also serve as a writer and executive producer, with Emma Forman executive-producing for Genre Arts.
