This series, based on the iconic video game franchise, has been in development at Prime Video since early 2023 and received official greenlight in May 2024. Bobb-Semple's previous credits include roles in Peacock's "One of Us is Lying" and Netflix's "Free Reign." His early career began in London's West End, followed by training at the Identity School of Acting.
