AceShowbiz - Oscar Isaac is all set to add another captivating role to his impressive portfolio with "Stowaway," a new series about Juan Carlos Guzman, the man who has been dubbed the "greatest conman alive."

Apple TV+ secured the rights to this tantalizing project, following a highly competitive bidding war. With his production company, Mad Gene Media, Isaac will not only play the lead role but also executive produce the series.

"Stowaway" packs a narrative punch by centering on Guzman, who, in 1993, was found nearly frozen in the wheel-well of a cargo jet that had landed in Miami. Initially, he spun a heart-wrenching tale of being a 13-year-old orphan from Colombia who risked everything for a better life in the United States.

However, this dramatic arrival was merely the prelude to a staggering career in deception. Over the next twenty years, Guzman traveled the globe, adopting numerous aliases to victimize the wealthy elite staying in some of the world's most luxurious hotels.

"It was far from the last lie he would tell - or the most ridiculous," the show's logline teases.

The mission to bring this captivating series to life has drawn in some significant talent. Steven Levenson is set to develop the screenplay, with Alfonso Gomez-Rejon directing the pilot.

The endeavor promises to be a visual and narrative feast, set against a glittering backdrop of wealth and opulence juxtaposed with the life of a man always on the run from his past and law enforcement agencies like Scotland Yard, the Las Vegas Police Department, and Interpol.

While Apple declined to comment on the burgeoning excitement, anticipation is already high for "Stowaway." With a mix of irresistible true-crime allure and star power, the series is poised to capture the imaginations of young viewers everywhere.
