HBO Casts Mackenzie Davis and Himesh Patel in Station Eleven Adaptation
[via io9)
Station Eleven is a bestselling novel about how we preserve culture after the end. Emily St. John Mandel’s novel (and Arthur C. Clarke Award winner) is being adapted into a ten-episode HBO Max series by Patrick Somerville (Maniac)
and Paramount TV. Which sounds great, but what really sticks out on
this announcement is the casting of two big leads: protagonist Kirsten, a
survivor of a devastating flu and a member of a post-apocalyptic
Shakespeare troupe, will be played by Mackenzie Davis (Halt and Catch Fire).
Meanwhile, Jeevan, a character described by Deadline as a “lost soul”
who must step up when the flu strikes will be played by Himesh Patel (Yesterday).
