Rob Lowe has been roped in to play Devil's advocate in Sky Network's end-of-world drama 'Apocalypse Slough', it has been revealed.
The 50-year-old actor will play the role of Father Jude, who holds the position of Devil's Advocate in the Vatican and he is a charismatic, irreverent, rebellious but also deeply moral man who is passionate about his faith but doesn't feel the need to constantly prove it, Deadline.com reported.
The project, described as an adrenaline-fueled witty epic, follows a diverse group of ordinary people in an extraordinary situation where a collision is imminent with an eight-mile wide comet that's destined to wipe out all life on Earth.
The series will be directed by Emmy-nominated Michael Engler and is written by Iain Hollands who is known for his work in 'Beaver Falls'.
