Tom Hiddleston to Lead New AppleTV+ Series, The White Darkness

Tom Hiddleston is set to star in AppleTV+’s new series, The White Darkness. The limited series is based on the non-fiction work by David Grann.

The White Darkness is inspired by the true life account of Henry Worsley (played by Hiddleston), a devoted husband and father, a former soldier, a man of deep honor and sacrifice, but also a man deeply obsessed with adventure, manifesting in an epic journey crossing Antarctica on foot. Starring Tom Hiddleston as Worsley, this is a spellbinding story of courage, love, family and the extremes of human capacity.

Hiddleston will also executive produce the series alongside Soo Hugh (“Pachinko,” “The Terror”), who will also co-showrun and serve as executive producer. Mark Heyman (“Black Swan, “Strange Angel”), will co-showrun and executive produce on the series alongside Hugh, and Theresa Kang-Lowe (“Pachinko”) will executive produce through her company Blue Marble Pictures which is currently in an overall deal with Apple TV+.
