The 74-year-old actor, known for films such as ‘Running Scared’, ‘The Princess Bride’, ‘Throw Momma from the Train’, ‘Memories of Me’, ‘When Harry Met Sally…’ and ‘Parental Guidance’, will also serve as an executive producer on the show.
Thorp will also executive produce alongside Sam Levinson, Crystal and Eric Roth, the writer of films like ‘Dune’ and Martin Scorsese's ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’.
