Tom Hiddleston is reteaming with Apple TV for new series The White Darkness.

From Apple Studios and UCP, the limited series is based on the non-fiction book by New York Times bestselling author David Grann. It is inspired by the true life account of Henry Worsley, a devoted husband and father, a former soldier, a man of deep honour and sacrifice, but also a man deeply obsessed with adventure, manifesting in an epic journey crossing Antarctica on foot. Starring Hiddleston as Worsley, it is a story of courage, love, family and the extremes of human capacity.

Hiddleston is no stranger to the small screen, having starred in Disney+’s Loki, and is no stranger to Apple Studios either, with him soon to appear in the series The Essex Serpent. Now, Hiddleston is partnering Apple once again and will exec-produce the project as well as starring in it.

The project was developed by Soo Hugh (Pachinko, The Terror), who will also co-showrun and serve as executive producer. Mark Heyman (Black Swan, Strange Angel), will co-showrun and executive produce on the series alongside Hugh, and Theresa Kang-Lowe (Pachinko) will executive produce through her company Blue Marble Pictures, which is currently in an overall deal with Apple TV.

In addition to Hiddleston, Hugh, Heyman and Kang-Lowe, the series is also executive produced by Caroline Garity of Blue Marble Pictures. This marks the second partnership for Hugh, Blue Marble Pictures and Apple TV following Pachinko, which Hugh wrote, produced and showran, and Kang-Lowe executive produced.
