Hulu has given a straight-to-series order for the Syrian civil war drama “Fertile Crescent,” starring James Purefoy, the streamer announced on Wednesday.
The project centers on Antoine, a young French man searching for his estranged, presumed-to-be-dead sister amid the civil war in Syria. While unraveling the mystery, Antoine ends up joining forces and traveling with a unit of Kurdish female fighters in Isis-occupied territory. In the process he crosses paths with adventurers and anarchists, spies and innocent victims, providing a “unique look on the tragic events in Syria, and the way they affect the entire world.”
Purefoy will star in the eight-episode series alongside French actors Félix Moati and Mélanie Thierry, as well as Souheila Yacoub, Joe Ben Ayed, James Floyd, Dean Ridge, Julia Faure, François Caron and Céline Samie.
Maria Feldman and Eitan Mansuri co-created the series with writers Amit Cohen and Ron Leshem, in collaboration with Xabi Molia.
