Sebastian Koch joins Disavowed: what we know about his role in Apple TV’s thriller
Deadline reports that Koch has joined the James Marsden-led series as a regular, though his character has not been revealed.
Sebastian Koch has joined the cast of Apple TV’s upcoming action thriller Disavowed as a series regular, Deadline reported on October 22. His character has not been disclosed, making the new casting the clearest update for viewers following the James Marsden-led show.
Marsden plays Brad Griffin, a CIA case officer fired in the middle of a global hunt for the assassin who killed his colleague. Griffin then goes after a $15 million federal bounty on the assassin’s head, according to the premise Apple announced when it ordered the series in May.
Who is joining Sebastian Koch in Disavowed?
Koch joins a previously announced cast that includes Norman Reedus, Sylvia Hoeks, Bokeem Woodbine, Noma Dumezweni, Daniel Zovatto, Mia Tharia and Sonita Henry, Deadline reported. The report identifies Koch as a series regular but gives no character name or description, so his place in Griffin’s pursuit remains unclear.
Viewers may know Koch from the films Black Book, Bridge of Spies and The Danish Girl. He also played German entrepreneur Otto Düring in the fifth and sixth seasons of Homeland. Deadline lists The Batman: Part II among his upcoming projects.
Who is making Apple TV’s Disavowed?
Apple announced a series order for Disavowed on May 6, 2026, with Marsden attached to star and executive produce. Art Marcum and Matt Holloway created the series from their original idea. Their premise puts Griffin outside the intelligence world as he pursues the bounty, the story Koch is now set to join.
The series comes from Apple Studios. Deadline names Marcum, Holloway, Tom Spezialy, Michelle MacLaren, Rebecca Hobbs and Marsden as executive producers. Blue Marble Pictures produces, with Theresa Kang and Caroline Garity also serving as executive producers, a production arrangement Apple identified in its original announcement.
MacLaren will direct the first two episodes and serve as an executive producer alongside Hobbs, Deadline reported. Her credits include The Morning Show and Breaking Bad. Neither Koch’s casting report nor Apple’s series announcement establishes when Disavowed will be released.
