Already boasting the acting chops of Naomi Watts, Netflix-based thriller series Gypsy has added another proven performer in the shape of Billy Crudup.

Writer Lisa Rubin has come up with the concept, which finds Watts as Jean Holloway, a therapist who begins to get a little too close for comfort (or professional ethics) to the people in her patients' lives. As for Crudup, he's aboard to play her husband Michael, who must deal with their complicated marriage and his own morally dubious relationships. Sounds like they're both made for each other and people who should absolutely, positively never have jumped into marriage in the first place.

Fifty Shades Of Grey director Sam Taylor-Johnson is kicking off the series by overseeing the first two episodes of a planned first run of 10, with Lisa Chasin joining Rubin on the show-running writer side of things.

Crudup was last seen in Spotlight and has a few movies on the way including 20th Century Women, political biopic Jackie alongside Natalie Portman, and Ridley Scott's latest trip to the xenomorph universe with Alien: Covenant, which recently finished shooting.
