EXCLUSIVE: Andrew Koji (Warrior) has been tapped for a major recurring role in Haven, Prime Video‘s heist thriller series starring Sophie Turner, Jacob Fortune-Lloyd and Archie Madekwe. The series is produced by Drama Republic (One Day, The English) and Amazon MGM Studios.
Crime novelist S.A. Nikias pens Haven in his series writing debut and developed the series alongside Drama Republic.
Haven is a contemporary, high-octane thriller about the heist of the century and the ordinary office worker, Zara (Turner), who finds herself at the heart of it. A typical work day at a pension fund investment company, Lochmill Capital, is upended when a gang of violent thieves burst in and force Zara and her best mate Luke (Madekwe) to execute their demands. But who would steal billions of pounds of ordinary people’s pensions and why? DCI Rhys (Fortune-Lloyd) is determined to find out, but as a recently relapsed gambling addict, Rhys must keep his own money problems at bay while dealing with the secret agendas and competing interests at the center of this far-reaching crime.
Koji will play Daniel Yoshida, a financial investigator who was brought on to help Rhys and Ellie with their investigation. The son of chip shop-owning immigrant parents, Daniel rose to riches when he became a high-flying investment banker at JP Morgan. But after becoming disillusioned with the unchecked privilege and dirty money that surrounded him, he gave it all up to work with the police on financial crimes.
Sam Miller (I May Destroy You, Black Mirror) is set to direct the first three episodes and serve as an executive producer.
Koji in known for his lead role in Jonathan Troppers HBO/Max series Warrior, inspired by the writings of Bruce Lee, on Netflix. He will next be seen in Netflix’s Black Doves opposite Kiera Knightley, Season 3 of the UK hit Gangs of London, and the upcoming feature Worth The Wait alongside Lana Condor. He was recently seen in Lionsgate’s Boy Kills World with Bill Skarsgard, Seneca opposite John Malkovich, Bullet Train for Sony opposite Brad Pitt, and Snake Eyes, part of the GI Joe franchise for Paramount. Past television credits include the Netflix series The Innocents, Starz’s American Gods, and Peaky Blinders on Netflix/BBC. Koji is repped by Conway VanGelder Grant and Principal Entertainment LA
