The Irish talent also known for his roles in ‘Calvary’, ‘Traders’ and ‘Trespass Against Us’ is set to return to the small screen once again for a leading role in the USA Network show.
Filming has already begun on the pilot for ‘Damnation’, written by Tony Tost (Song by Song: Johnny Cash, Longmire) and directed by BAFTA-winning David MacKenzie (Starred Up, Perfect Sense).
Scott plays Seth Davenport, a man who poses as a small town preacher in 1930s America. He is motivated by the ambition for a full-blown insurrection, resulting in bloody conflicts with those around him, against the backdrop of a shared secret past with dangerous strikebreaker Creeley Turner.
Logan Marshall-Green (Quarry, Snowden) plays antagonist Turner, with ‘Van Helsing’ and ‘Tin Star’ actor Christopher Heyerdahl and Sarah Jones (The Path, Return to Zero) also cast.
‘Damnation’ is produced by Universal Cable Production.
