Rupert Grint Cast in M. Night Shyamalan's Apple Series

Rupert Grint has joined Apple's upcoming psychological thriller series from M. Night Shyamalan and British TV writer Tony Basgallop, according to Deadline.

Previously cast in the series were Lauren Ambrose (Six Feet Under) and Nell Tiger (Game of Thrones).

The plot of the series has not been announced, but rumors say it follows parents Dorothy (Ambrose) and Sean Turner, who have hired young nanny Leanne to help care for their newborn child. Grint will play Julian Pearce, Dorothy's (Ambrose) younger brother.

Basgallop created the project, which received a straight-to-series order, and he will write and executive produce the series. Shyamalan is executive producing the series and will direct the first episode.

The series will be produced by Shyamalan's Blinding Edge Pictures, with the company's Ashwin Rajan serving as executive producer alongside the Escape Artists team of Jason Blumenthal, Todd Black and Steve Tisch. Taylor Latham will co-executive produce.

Grint is best known for starring as Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter series. He recently wrapped ABC Murders for the BBC, as well as season 2 of Snatch for Sony Crackle. Before that, Grint starred in Broadway's It's Only A Play opposite Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick.
