Richard Madden is headed to Amazon. Deadline reports the Game of Thrones star has joined the streaming platform’s new pilot Strange New Things.

Based on the novel The Book of Strange New Things by Michael Faber, the drama “follows Peter (Madden), a priest, who is sent into space to help found a new colony but what he ends up discovering not only puts his faith to the test but life as we know it.”

A premiere date for Strange New Things has not yet been set.

What do you think? Have you read the novel? Will you watch the Amazon pilot?
