Harry Potter films' actors Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) and Natalia Tena (Tonks) will reunite for a 10-episode sci-fi series called
Origin for YouTube Red broadcast. Filming is already underway in South Africa and is set for release later this year. A synopsis of the show can be read below.
Quote:
The 10-episode series follows a group of strangers who find themselves stranded on a spacecraft bound for a distant planet. The abandoned passengers must work together for survival, but quickly realize that one of them is far from who they claim to be. Tena will play Lana, Felton is Logan, Mitsuji is Shun.
Resilient, tough and great in a crisis, Lana (Tena) quickly becomes a kind of captain to the passengers of Origin. Shun (Mitsuji) also quickly emerges as a natural leader among the passengers, due to his cool head and razor sharp reflexes. Like his Harry Potter character Draco Malfoy, Felton again is playing the group’s chief antagonist. His Logan is an angry young man, who is as much of a threat to himself, as he is to those around him.
Similarly,
Snatch, starring Nat and Tom's former
Harry Potter costar Rupert Grint, will debut its second season this fall. A preview clip of that can be watched below.
The first season can be watched now online through Crackle.com, which will also host the second season.
