“Little Drummer Girl” Poster
Visionary director Park Chan-wook (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, The Handmaiden) is getting ready to unleash a six-episode AMC/BBC mini-series based on John le Carre’s spy novel The Little Drummer Girl.
The series follows Charlie (Florence Pugh), an actress whose vacation misadventures walk her right into a global intelligence role that forces her to take on a literal deadly role. Alexander Skarsgård co-stars as Becker, an Israeli agent tasked with bringing her into the international plot, and Michael Shannon as Becker’s dangerous boss Kurtz (via IW).
The series is slated to debut in the U.S on AMC as a three-night television event with a two-hour episode on November 19th at 9:00 P.M. ET/PT. Additional two-hour episodes will air on consecutive nights at 9:00 P.M. ET/PT on November 20th and November 21st (via Collider).
The Little Drummer Girl was previously made into a feature film by George Roy Hill (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) in 1984, which starred Diane Keaton (The Godfather) as Charlie.

This sounds like an absolute must-watch to me…!
Michael Shannon is one of my favorite actors working today. Throw him into a Park production based on a John le Carre novel and you’ve found an instant audience member in me. Plus Florence Pugh was amazing in Lady Macbeth, so that’s a bonus, too.
This is going to rock! Kyle Warner, you took the words outta my mouth!
