Jamie Dornan To Play Identical Twins In Netflix UK Drama Series ‘The Undertow’

Fifty Shades of Grey star Jamie Dornan will play identical twins in a Netflix drama out of the UK.

Unveiled at a Next on Netflix event this evening in London, The Undertow is a crime noir series that will see the Irishman take on the dual roles of identical twins Adam and Lee.

Suffocating in a loveless marriage to Adam, Nicola (Mackenzie Davis)’s life takes a dramatic turn when Adam’s long-estranged identical twin brother Lee comes crashing back into her life, and their tangled romantic past threatens to destroy the present.

The series is based on the Nordisk Film Production AS show Twin, created by Kristoffer Metcalfe. The adaptation will be produced by Complete Fiction and wiip, and production will start on the Isle of Mull, Scotland, later this year.

Dornan will be more familiar to Netflix subs of late after starring in spy thriller Heart of Stone opposite Gal Gadot, while his BBC-Stan drama The Tourist switched from Max to Netflix in the U.S recently.

Several other shows are expected to be unveiled over the next few hours in the UK, including a new project from Matt Charman titled The Choice which will star Suranne Jones.
