Actor Orlando Bloom has been tapped to topline Amazon's eight-episode straight-to-series fantasy drama "Carnival Row".
The series will mark the 40-year-old actor's first major TV role, reported Variety.
"Carnival Row" is a fantasy-noir set in a neo-Victorian city. Mythical creatures fleeing their war-torn homeland have gathered in the city, and tensions are simmering between citizens and the growing immigrant population.
The series follows the investigation of a string of unsolved murders that are eating away at whatever uneasy peace still exists.
Bloom will play the man in the center of it, Rycroft Philostrate, a police inspector investigating the murder of a faerie showgirl.
