Cara Delevingne Will Star in New TV Show 'Carnival Row'

Cara Delevingne is starring in the upcoming Amazon series Carnival Row!

The Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets actress has officially signed on for the eight-episode fantasy-noir alongside Orlando Bloom, Variety reports.

Here’s the synopsis: “Mythical creatures fleeing their war-torn homeland have gathered in the city, and tensions are simmering between citizens and the growing immigrant population. The investigation of a string of unsolved murders begins to eat away at whatever peace still exists.”

Cara will play Vignette Stonemoss, “a faerish refugee who flees homeland to come to the Burgue, where she must contend not only with rampant human prejudice against her kind, but with the secrets that have followed her to this new place.”

Orlando‘s character is Rycroft Philostrate, “a police inspector investigating the murder of a faerie showgirl. Rycroft is not supposed to care about the death of another faerish refugee, but he does – and getting to the bottom of what happened to her will come at a big cost.”

The series marks both Cara and Orlando‘s first regular roles in a TV series.

Paul McGuigan is set to direct and executive produce.

Carnival Row will premiere on Amazon in 2019! Production is set to begin this fall.
