Damson Idris as the arrogant but talented rookie Joshua Pearce got quite some attention in F1 despite featuring alongside bigwigs Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem. The movie’s Oscar buzz also helped with the popularity of the 34-year-old actor. Previously famous for his roles in Snowfall and Outside the Wire, he found a whole new level of recognition after F1. Now, all eyes are looking forward to his next outing, and there has been an update on that.

Idris will soon be seen as a British spy in Netflix’s upcoming political thriller from the author of House of Cards.

Damson Idris is set to play the role of an ex-spy named Harry Jones, who has the responsibility to save Britain’s House of Lords from an enemy siege in the upcoming British thriller The Lords’ Day. The Netflix series is based on a 2007 novel of the same name by Michael Dobbs, the same man who wrote House of Cards. 

Director Ben Chanan (The Capture, The Missing) will take the reins of directing the film, and Jonathan Brackley and Sam Vincent will write the screenplay. Meanwhile, Jane Tranter and Dan McCulloch will executive produce through their production company Bad Wolf. They have previously produced projects like His Dark Materials.

Since the project is in its initial stages, the information on the series is very scarce. Apart from Damson Idris, there is no update on the rest of the cast members. The makers are still in the process of finding the rest of the crew. Similarly, there is no update on the release date yet.

But there is ample information on the plot of the series and what the audience might see Damson Idris doing in the story.

British spy Harry Jones gets locked within the Palace of Westminster for the State Opening of Parliament. An enemy siege turns the British Parliament into a hostile territory, and important members of the United Kingdom's government are taken prisoner. Now, it is up to Harry Jones to protect the government officials and bring them to safety.

But it is not going to be easy. As the situation intensifies, sacrifices need to be made, and loyalty comes into question. Survival in such a situation becomes tough, and not everyone can get out of this unscathed. All this pressure and only one man for the job - Harry Jones. But will he be able to pull it off? Just like Netflix’s other spy-thrillers, The Lords' Day is poised to be another edge-of-the-seat entertainer with Damson Idris at the center of it.
