Chiwetel Ejiofor is a mesmerizing actor who draws you in with every action, thought and emotion, and he will be a phenomenal force igniting this journey.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everything about this extraordinary story and its creative origins demands a bold, subversive approach to exploring what it means to be human in a world that&#8217;s never been more connected and disconnected,&#8221; said Kurtzman, Lumet and Hlavin. &#8220;David Nevins and the entire CBS Studios team have really inspired us with their passion for this legacy, and we&#8217;re thrilled to call SHOWTIME our new home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ejiofor is renowned for his portrayal of Solomon Northup in 12 Years a Slave, for which he received Oscar, Golden Globe(R), Screen Actors Guild and Film Independent Spirit award nominations, along with the BAFTA Award for Best Actor. He also received Golden Globe nominations for <em>Dancing on the Edge<\/em>,<em> Endgame<\/em>, <em>Kinky Boots,<\/em> and <em>Tsunami: The Aftermath<\/em>, as well a pair of Emmy nominations for <em>The Elephant Queen<\/em> and <em>Dancing on the Edge<\/em>. He wrote, directed, and was featured in <em>The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind<\/em>, and his extensive catalog of film credits also includes <em>Dirty Pretty Things<\/em> (for which he won the British Independent Film Award), <em>The Martian<\/em>, <em>Doctor Strange<\/em>, <em>American Gangster<\/em>, <em>Children of Men<\/em> and <em>Love Actually<\/em>. On the stage, Ejiofor earned the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor for his performance in Othello in 2008.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SHOWTIME announced today that the highly anticipated upcoming original drama series THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH &#8211; starring Oscar and Emmy(R) nominee and BAFTA(R) Award winner Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave, The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind) &#8211; will premiere exclusively on SHOWTIME in 2022.
