What to Expect in Malice?
Malice’s plot details are unknown, but Variety’s sources state the series will “follow a young man (Whitehall) who seeks to infiltrate the world of a wealthy family, with Duchovny and van Houten playing the heads of that family.”
Malice comes from writer and executive producer James Wood, who worked on Hulu’s The Great. Woods wrote the 2017 comedy series Quacks, with Whitehall starring in the lead role. Malice will be a co-production between Expectation Entertainment and Tailspin Films for Prime Video.
