Netflix has given a straight-to-series order to a father-daughter espionage thriller. The series will reunite Stranger Things‘ Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour.

Loosely inspired by Paul Warner’s debut novel A Spy In the Blood, a disgraced FBI agent turned security expert Matt Wolfe (Harbour) is drawn back into the world he left behind when his estranged daughter, Rebecca (Brown) — now an FBI agent determined to follow in his footsteps — vanishes on a mission, forcing him back into a field that has evolved beyond him.

“We are delighted to bring this spy drama to life with an extraordinary group of talent we’ve been fortunate to collaborate with before,” Netflix Head of Scripted Series, US and Canada, said. “Jack Thorne’s ability to find the deeply human story inside a thriller is unmatched, and watching Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour reunite — this time as estranged father and daughter on opposite sides of a crisis — is something audiences are going to love. A24 is the perfect partner to bring this story to our members around the world.”

Jack Thorne executive produces alongside Joe Hipps and Patrick McDonald of Cut To; Brown, Jake Bongiovi and Robert Brown for PCMA; as well as Harbour and KC Wenson for Bravo Axolotl.
