EXCLUSIVE: Rob Kirkland (Yellowstone, Mayor of Kingstown) has signed on to star alongside Nick Cassavetes, Dajana Gudić, Paul Johansson and Lou Ferrigno Jr. in the thriller Dyad, from director Patrick Flaherty (Rule of Thirds) and his shingle 1A Motion Pictures.
Dyad follows Sofia (Gudić), a journalist eager to make her mark, but consumed by conspiracy theories and her struggles with dissociative identity disorder. As she connects a couple of seemingly isolated high-profile deaths, she is pulled into the orbit of Zane (Cassavetes), the mercurial leader of a global cabal that counts media moguls (Johansson), politicians and Hollywood elites amongst its members. Once Sofia discovers how deep the ties of this shadow government run, she sets her sights on the impossible task of taking them down.
Kirkland will play a state Governor with eyes on the presidency that Cassavetes’ cabal leader attempts to recruit.
Will Hirschfeld penned the script and is producing alongside Flaherty and Gudić, with Cassavetes, Driss Ouazzani, Michael Krause, Paul Schon, Michael Morriatti and Ionel Diaconescu serving as executive producers. Hirschfeld will also feature in the cast, along with Miraj Grbić, Denny Love, Johanna Liuaw, Jonathan Kowalsky, Steven Spence, Christian Combs and current UFC Champion Aljamain Sterling.
Kirkland has recently been seen in Paramount+’s series Yellowstone and Mayor of Kingstown, appearing in the latter opposite Jeremy Renner. He is represented by Brave Artists Management; Hirschfeld by Energy Entertainment.
