Keanu Reeves has taken a significant leap into the world of television by signing on for his first major TV series, "Devil in the White City." The acclaimed actor will portray the role of Daniel Burnham, the renowned Chicago architect known for his iconic creations such as the Flatiron Building and the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. This Hulu limited series will showcase Reeves' adaptation of Burnham's visionary work, promising to bring a blend of historical drama and architectural brilliance to the small screen.

The series is backed by prominent figures in the industry, with Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese serving as producers. The project has long been in development, with DiCaprio having secured the rights to Erik Larson's best-selling book of the same name. The storyline intertwines the challenges of Burnham's architectural feats with the sinister exploits of Dr. H.H. Holmes, America's first known serial killer, who haunted the World's Fair during its construction. With Reeves onboard, the series is poised to deliver an enthralling narrative, merging history with suspenseful drama.
