Game of Thrones fame Aidan Gillen to star in ‘Killers of The Cosmos'

The universe is a boundless reel of the fabric where we paint our stories with the colour of opportunity. We often get lost in the beauty of the cosmos, staring at the night sky. However, the beauty hides dangers that are unknown to man. Strange phenomena like Supernovas or Black Holes blow up entire galaxies. Even something as little as an asteroid can cause massive destruction on earth. Discovery brings to you these deadly wonders in the form of a drama in Killers of The Cosmos. The series stars Game of Thrones alum Aidan Gillen, who played Petyr Baelish on the epic fantasy.

The six-part series is being produced by Warner Bros-owned UK production company Wall To Wall. Gillen will play a detective who hunts down existential threats to humanity. The production has shot across the U.S. during the coronavirus pandemic. Filming is still underway, though post-production has begun on the show.

Killers of The Cosmos is a specialist factual series with a graphic novel-like twist. Discovery declined to comment on Killers Of The Cosmos. It is likely to premiere the show next year.

Aidan Gillen is a celebrated actor famous for his versatility. He will also appear on Irish crime drama Kin. Are you excited about Aidan’s new project? Talk to us in the comments below!

HBO is leaving no stone unturned in creating hype for the show’s prequel House of The Dragon. After announcing Paddy Considine as King Viserys for the series, the network has added to the hype by casting for more important roles. Matt Smith, who will play Daemon Targaryen, is one of them.

Daemon Targaryen is the younger brother to the King Viserys Targaryen. He is described as a middle-aged man, between 40 to 50 years of age.
