"It is inspired by the true life account of Henry Worsley (Hiddleston), a devoted husband and father, a former soldier, a man of deep honour and sacrifice, but also a man deeply obsessed with adventure, manifesting in an epic journey crossing Antarctica on foot," the logline reads.
Hugh, who created and show-ran Apple TV+'s latest success ‘Pachinko’, will also serve as executive producer and co-showrunner on “The White Darkness" alongside Mark Heyman.
Theresa Kang-Lowe and Caroline Garity will executive produce for Blue Marble Pictures. Apple Studios and UCP will co-produce.
The project marks Hiddleston's second collaboration with Apple TV+ after the drama series ‘The Essex Serpent’ alongside Claire Danes. The show will premiere in May.
