Norman Reedus, best known for his role in The Walking Dead, is the latest addition to the cast of Disavowed, joining James Marsden in the upcoming Apple TV thriller. First announced in May, the series will feature Marsden as Brad Griffin, a CIA Case Officer at the center of the story.
Developed by Art Marcum and Matt Holloway from their original idea, Disavowed is described as an action-packed ongoing thriller. Its official synopsis introduces Marsden’s character as follows: “Marsden will play legendary CIA Case Officer Brad Griffin, who is abruptly fired in the middle of a global hunt for an elusive assassin responsible for killing his colleague.

“Disgraced and outcast from the world of intelligence, all bets are off when Brad decides to go after the $15 million federal bounty on the assassin’s head.”
Norman Reedus has also been confirmed as part of the Apple TV series, although the details surrounding his character have yet to be revealed.
Reedus is widely recognized for playing Daryl Dixon in The Walking Dead, a role he portrayed across 11 seasons before continuing the character’s story in his own spin-off, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon.
After 15 years playing Daryl, Reedus is preparing to leave the character behind when the fourth and final season of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon arrives in 2027.
Back in 2025, the actor marked his final day of filming as Daryl with a heartfelt tribute shared on X. He wrote: “Last filming day today for Daryl Dixon. It’s been such a joy for me to play this guy with all of u for this long. I feel really blessed. Truly. Thank you all really from my heart.”

In an interview last year, Norman Reedus opened up about his experience playing Daryl Dixon and what the final chapter of the spin-off means for him. Reflecting on how closely the series has aligned with different stages of his own life, he said:
“You know, it’s different. This show has always coincided with my life a bit. With season four, Daryl really goes inside [himself], and so I’m inside, too,” he said.
“I’m in my head a lot, especially for the episode we’re filming now. It’s filling my head with the future, the past and the present of this character.”
Disavowed will stream on Apple TV.
