TVLine Items: McDorman’s Peacock Series, Paper Girls Teaser and More
Print/DownloadJake McDorman is joining Betty Gilpin in the fight against A.I.
The Limitless and Greek alum will star alongside GLOW vet Gilpin in Peacock’s upcoming drama Mrs. Davis, from co-writers/executive producers Damon Lindelof (Watchmen, Lost) and Tara Hernandez (Young Sheldon).
The series is described as “an exploration of faith versus technology — an epic battle of biblical and binary proportions,” with Gilpin starring as “a nun who goes to battle against an all-powerful Artificial Intelligence.” McDorman — whose other TV credits include Dopesick, The Right Stuff and Murphy Brown — will play Gilpin’s rebellious ex, who also has a personal vendetta against the Algorithm.
