20 Most Anticipated TV Shows Of 2024
16. The Sympathizer
It's certainly been refreshing to see Robert Downey Jr. return to "serious acting" with his recent, Golden Globe-winning turn in Oppenheimer, and next, he'll appear in The Sympathizer - a mini-series co-developed by Park Chan-wook (Oldboy), and based off Viet Thanh Nguyen's Pulitzer-winning novel.
The plot revolves around The Captain (Hoa Xuande), a North Vietnamese spy placed in the South Vietnamese army, who is forced to flee to the United States near the end of the war.
The big hook, assuredly, is that Downey will be playing at least four different antagonistic characters, giving him the floor to go absolutely hog wild in a variety of unique get-ups.
And if that's somehow not compelling enough, Sandra Oh is along for the ride as well.
The Sympathizer premieres sometime in 2024.
