Colman Domingo is joining a major psychological thriller with The Servant.
The Fear the Walking Dead standout has been cast alongside Nicholas Hoult, Emma Corrin, and Noah Jupe in the upcoming film. Domingo is best known to Walking Dead fans for playing Victor Strand, one of Fear the Walking Dead’s most memorable and unpredictable survivors.
The Servant is a reimagining of the 1963 film directed by Joseph Losey and written by Harold Pinter. Francis Lee will write and direct the new version, with Blueprint Pictures and Film4 involved in the project.
The story is set in 1950s New York and centers on Tony, played by Hoult, a privileged British man who moves into an apartment overlooking Central Park. His life begins to unravel after he becomes locked in a psychological power struggle with his manservant Barrett, played by Domingo.
Details about Corrin and Jupe’s roles have not been revealed yet. The film is expected to explore control, class, tension, and shifting power inside a relationship that becomes increasingly unstable.
Production is currently expected to begin in January 2027. Mk2 is handling international sales at the Cannes market.
For Domingo, The Servant marks another high-profile role in a career that continues moving far beyond the Walking Dead universe. His turn from Victor Strand to Barrett gives fans another very different side of his range to watch.
