Chiwetel Ejiofor will be The Man Who Fell to Earth for Paramount+ (the new name for CBS All Access).

The series, from Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet based on the Walter Tevis novel and the 1976 movie, will follow a new alien character who arrives on Earth at a turning point in human evolution and must confront his own past to determine our future.

“Chiwetel Ejiofor’s stage and film career are staggering in their bravery, commitment and quality,” said Kurtzman and Lumet. “He’s everything we could imagine and a million things we can’t. We couldn’t be more thrilled.”
