Nick Offerman, Sonoya Mizuno to star in Alex Garland's new sci-fi murder mystery series Devs

The American TV channel FX revealed it has ordered an eight-episode sci-fi murder mystery series called Devs by writer and director Alex Garland. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the upcoming TV series will be set at a secretive tech firm in San Francisco. It will star Sonoya Mizuno as Lily Chan, a young software engineer who investigates a secret division of her employer Amaya, a “cutting-edge tech company,” which she believes is responsible for the death of her boyfriend. Parks and Recreation veteran Nick Offerman will play the role of Amaya’s CEO, a man seemingly obsessed with his company’s secretive development division.

It will premiere on FX in 2019.
