Caitríona Balfe, along with Rachel Brosnahan and Laurence Fishburne, are joining Rami Malek in thriller Amateur. Slow Horses series director James Hawes will direct.

The story follows a CIA cryptographer who, after his wife is killed in a London terrorist attack, demands his bosses go after them. When it becomes clear they won’t act due to conflicting internal priorities, he blackmails the agency into training him and letting him go after them himself.

Balfe was recently IFTA-nominated for Best Actress in a Lead Role (Drama) for her performance in Outlander, which is set to have its seventh season premiere on June 16. Her role in Amateur is currently undisclosed.

Gary Spinelli (American Made) wrote the most recent draft of the screenplay. Hutch Parker (Logan) and Dan Wilson (Patriots Day) are producing, with Malek also producing.
