Tom Hiddleston to Star in Netflix’s White Stork

Before Tom Hiddleston returns to his role as Loki, he is heading to Netflix.

The star of Disney+’s forthcoming Marvel spinoff series Loki is set to star in the Netflix political thriller White Stork, a 10-episode drama from the producers behind the streamer’s breakout Sex Education.

Here’s the official premise:

When James Cooper (Hiddleston) is selected to run for a seat in parliament, Asher Millan is sent to vet him for primetime. But she quickly uncovers potentially damaging secrets buried deep in James’ past. Secrets that will threaten to blow everything apart — his career, his marriage, even the powerful people backing his campaign. White Stork is a political thriller about the paradox of truth in a post-truth world.

Christopher Dunlop created the series, which is being directed by Kristoffer Nyholm.
