Daniels is set to star in the forthcoming four-hour CBS Studios miniseries based on James Comey’s bestselling book, A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies and Leadership.

Daniels will star as Comey, a former FBI Director who was dismissed from his role after President Trump objected to Comey’s handling of the investigation into Hilary Clinton’s emails.

Adapting the book to the small screen is Captain Phillips scribe, Billy Ray. Ray said of Daniels’ casting: “Jeff is so perfect for this part. Great actor, instant integrity, loads of warmth, intelligence, complexity and gravitas. We talked backstage after I saw him in To Kill a Mockingbird on Broadway, and I knew I was looking at the only person who could play Jim Comey. Lucky for me, he said yes.”

The 64-year-old actor will star and executive produce a new drama based on Philipp Meyer’s debut novel American Rust for Showtime. Penning the adaptation is Capote scribe, Dan Futterman.

“Jeff Daniels is a bona fide giant on stage and screen, and Dan Futterman is a special writer and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have them together at Showtime,” said Gary Levine, President of Entertainment Showtime Networks. “With vibrant characters caught in an unpredictable murder mystery, Rust will tell the relevant and touching human story of the corrosion of the American dream.”

The family drama will explore the tattered American dream through the eyes of the complicated and compromised chief of police Del Harris (Daniels) in a Rust Belt town in southwest Pennsylvania. When the woman he truly loves sees her son accused of murder, Harris is forced to decide what he’s willing to do to protect her.

A production start date has yet to be announced.
