Star Wars‘ Domhnall Gleeson is eyeing a trip to the TV galaxy with a starring role in HBO’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge-produced pilot Run, TVLine has learned.
Written by Waller-Bridge’s frequent collaborator Vicky Jones, Run — which is being billed as a comedic thriller — centers on ex-lovers who made a pact 15 years ago that if they ever needed to escape life, they could send each other a simple text message, “RUN,” and impulsively disappear together.
Gleeson will play Billy Johnson, a successful life guru from a wealthy Irish family. Born with the gift of the gab, he deftly combines a boatload of charisma with a boundless need for approval.
In addition to playing General Hux in the current Star Wars sequels, Gleeson’s credits include Ex Machina and Brooklyn.
