Natasha Lyonne and Matt Berry to lead new Sky Max comedy Force & Majeure

They'll team up as an American mercenary and British art expert (cum art thief)!

Sky Max has today announced Force & Majeure, a new six-part action-adventure comedy starring Natasha Lyonne and Matt Berry, which will begin filming early next year

Described as a sharply funny and stylishly escapist new series, Force & Majeure, is a retro-infused, playfully irreverent take on the classic TV action-adventure detective genre.

Matt Berry leads as British art expert (cum art thief) Thomas Force alongside Natasha Lyonne as American mercenary Jennifer Majeure.

When they are both recruited by an eccentric, justice-obsessed billionaire Amanda Daventry, they find themselves tasked with defeating the evil plans of international villains operating in the most fabulous locations across Europe.

But as Force & Majeure team up to defeat the forces of evil, they must also work together to escape the clutches of Amanda, who may not be telling them the whole story.

Made by Objective Fiction and Animal Pictures in association with Sky Studios, Force & Majeure, is created by Tom Scharpling, alongside Berry and Lyonne, the sharply comedic series and written by Scharpling, Iain Morris and Cirocco Dunlap.

It'll be executive produced by Ben Farrell and Hannah Mackay for Objective Fiction, Natasha Lyonne and Max Ferguson for Animal Pictures, Matt Berry, Tom Scharpling, Iain Morris, Cirocco Dunlap and Alex Moody for Sky.

Force & Majeure will air on Sky Max
