The Outlander star will play Conal, described as one of the top agents at Ascent Ventures.
It's certainly a turn away from his best known leading role in Outlander, but Heughan has seemingly turned to the world of thrillers for the time being, with the actor also set to appear in Embassy, a political action thriller alongside Anna Kendrick and JK Simmons.
Ascent was first announced a couple of months ago when Davis was revealed as its star and executive producer. Heughan's casting is now the first major addition to the line-up since, with further exciting details expected to come in due course.
While we don't have a release date for the series just yet, we do know that production is scheduled to kick off in Los Angeles in 2027.
