Dakota Fanning is following many other Hollywood stars onto the small screen in a new drama.
The movie star, 22, has signed up for The Alienist, a series based on author Caleb Carr’s best-selling book.
She will play a police secretary in the 1890s, who helps look into a string of murders in the Big Apple.
Luke Evans and Daniel Bruhl have also been cast in the psychological thriller.
It marks a change for Dakota, who has mainly stuck to the big screen during her career. Her last major TV role was in the Taken mini-series when she was just eight.
The Alienist is expected to air later this year.
