Action man Jason Statham is set to become the latest movie star making the leap to the small screen after signing on to lead the cast of a new TV drama series called Viva La Madness.
The Transporter star will play a criminal stranded in the Caribbean, longing for his life on the streets.
Based on J.J. Connolly's novel of the same name, Viva La Madness
serves as a sequel to the author's debut, 2004's Layer Cake, which
was adapted into a film featuring Daniel Craig.
Connolly will also adapt his book for the screen.
The project will mark Statham's first venture into television.
