Morgan Spector in Talks for Netflix Robert Langdon Series

Morgan Spector is in negotiations to portray Robert Langdon in a new Netflix series, according to sources speaking with Variety. The series is based on Dan Brown's novel "The Secret of Secrets." Rebecca Hall is also in discussions for the female lead role in the project.

The series received a formal order from Netflix in May 2025. Carlton Cuse, known for his work on "Lost," is attached as an executive producer and writer. Dan Brown, the author of the original Robert Langdon novels, is also involved as an executive producer. The specific details of the deal for Spector and Hall have not yet been finalized.

This marks a significant television role for Spector, who previously starred in "The Gilded Age." The Robert Langdon character first appeared in Brown's 2000 novel "Angels & Demons" and gained widespread recognition through subsequent books like "The Da Vinci Code" and "Inferno," which were also adapted into successful films starring Tom Hanks. The Netflix series aims to bring the popular symbologist character to a new format.

Netflix has been actively expanding its slate of high-profile scripted dramas, and this adaptation of a beloved literary franchise is expected to be a major draw for subscribers. The involvement of Cuse and Brown signals a commitment to producing a high-quality adaptation that honors the source material. Further casting and production details are anticipated as negotiations conclude.
