Clive Owen to Star With Emma Corrin in FX Mystery ‘Retreat’

FX’s whodunit Retreat has lined up an impressive cast to join The Crown’s Emma Corrin.

Clive Owen, Harris Dickinson, co-creator Brit Marling, Alice Braga, Jermaine Fowler, Joan Chen, Edoardo Ballerini, Raul Esparza, Pegah Ferydoni, Ryan J. Haddad and Javed Khan have all joined the ensemble for the limited series. Details on their roles, other than the names of the characters the actors are playing, are being kept quiet.

Created by Marling and Zal Batmanglij (The OA), Retreat centers on an amateur sleuth named Darby Hart (Corrin), who, along with 11 other guests, is invited by a reclusive billionaire (Owen) to a retreat at a remote and dazzling location. When a guest is found dead, Darby fights to prove it was murder against a tide of competing interests — before the killer takes another life.
