All we needed to hear was Hannah Waddingham and Octavia Spencer, but when we add to that “untitled assassin series,” we don’t even need a title. We’re already in.
Described as Thelma & Louise meets Jack Ryan, the series was first reported by THR. No other information is available, but we don’t need it. We will watch anything Hannah Waddingham does — including the Christmas special, which, if you haven’t watched, you absolutely should — and we love Octavia Spencer and women-led action projects.
There aren’t enough stories like this one in Hollywood, and we can say this without even having details about what the project is truly about. Not just women-led stuff in general, but action projects led by women, and action projects led by women who aren’t 20. But we’re not even excited just because we’ll support any project that fits these characteristics. We’re excited because of these particular performers.
Let us hope this project is as good as it has a chance to be. As good as these two deserve.
