Actor Michelle Monaghan is set to play the lead role in upcoming Netflix series "Messiah".
The 10-episode series details the world's reaction to a man (Mehdi Dehbi) who emerges from the Middle East creating a groundswell of followers who claim he is sent from God.
Other people question whether he is what they say he is or rather a dangerous fraud bent on dismantling the world's geopolitical order, causing civil havoc as he beguiles the world's media and its audience.
According to Variety, the series is told from multiple viewpoints, including a US Intelligence agent, a Palestinian refugee, an Israeli Shin Bet officer, and a Latino preacher and his daughter.
Monaghan will play Eva Geller, a US intelligence officer, who pits her wits and years of experience against Al-Masih (Dehbi).
"Messiah" was created by writer Michael Petroni who brought the project to Netflix with Mark Burnett.
James McTeigue will direct the series.
