EXCLUSIVE: The Leftovers alumna Amanda Warren and Colin Woodell (Unsane) are set for starring roles opposite leads Gabriel Chavarria and Jessica Garza in the upcoming series The Purge for USA Network and Syfy.
The project comes from franchise creator James DeMonaco, Blumhouse Television, the TV divisions of the movies’ producer Blumhouse Prods. and Universal Cable Productions. The franchise — about one day each year when murder and mayhem is legalized — hatched its highest grossing effort so far with the most recent The Purge: Election Year in 2016. DeMonaco oversees the series which will be an entirely new chapter in America’s 12 hours of annual lawlessness and is slated to launch in conjunction with the next installment in the movie franchise, The First Purge.
Warren will play Jane. A dedicated and hardworking finance professional, Jane’s convinced that she’s hit an insurmountable glass ceiling at her firm, so she hires a Purge-assassin.
Woodell will portray Rick. After a lifetime of bootstrapping, Rick is finally climbing the social ladder. But currying favor with the pro-Purge elite presents unexpected challenges to his marriage, as he and his wife must agree on what moral price they’ll pay to achieve the American dream.
