WESTWORLD's Jimmi Simpson Joins Epix Drama OUR LADY, LTD  Image

Jimmi Simpson has joined the cast of Epix's drama "Our Lady, LTD," starring Sir Ben Kinglsey, according to Variety.

Our Lady, LTD is a 10-episode modern noir drama from MGM Television starring Academy Award® winner Sir Ben Kingsley. The series follows James, a young grifter, as he attempts to prey upon Pastor Byron Brown (Kingsley), who turns out to be far more dangerous than he suspects.

The series is expected to commence principal photography in Santa Fe, New Mexico this fall with an eye towards a 2019 premiere on EPIX.

Our Lady, LTD joins a growing lineup of original programming on EPIX, which includes season two of Get Shorty (currently airing Sundays at 9pm) and The Contender (from MGM Television and executive producer Mark Burnett), which premiered August 24. For 2019, the network recently announced the series orders of dramas Godfather of Harlem (from executive producers Chris Brancato and Paul Eckstein, and Oscar® winner Forest Whitaker who will also star) and Pennyworth, an origin story about Batman's best friend and butler, Alfred Pennyworth from Warner Horizon Television and DC Comics.

Simpson is nominated for an Emmy for his role in the HBO series "Westworld." He could also be seen in USA Network's "Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G." He will next be seen in the A24 film "Under the Silver Lake."
