Michelle MacLaren To Direct & EP James Marsden-Led Apple TV Series ‘Disavowed’

Michelle MacLaren will direct the first two episodes of Apple TV’s forthcoming thriller Disavowed and serve as an executive producer. The appointment brings an experienced television director to a series led by James Marsden, whose character is a dismissed CIA officer pursuing an assassin accused of killing a colleague.

Created by Art Marcum and Matt Holloway, Disavowed centres on Brad Griffin, who goes after a $15 million federal bounty after being cast out of the intelligence world. MacLaren and Rebecca Hobbs will executive produce under MacLaren’s Apple TV deal, alongside Marsden, Marcum, Holloway and others; Blue Marble Pictures, the company behind Pachinko, is producing.
