The Thor actor has just landed his next gig. 

Multiple outlets confirm that Tom Hiddleston has been cast in Netflix’s White Stork. He’ll be fronting the British drama series, which was created, written and executive produced by Jericho writer Chris Dunlop.

White Stork has been given a 10-episode order by the streaming giant. It is produced by Eleven, the same production company behind Sex Education.

In White Stork, “when James Cooper (Hiddleston) is selected to run for a seat in parliament, Asher Millan is sent to vet him for primetime. But she quickly uncovers potentially damaging secrets buried deep in James’ past. Secrets that will threaten to blow everything apart — his career, his marriage, even the powerful people backing his campaign.”

White Stork, formerly known as Spadehead, was in development for several years at AMC.
