SK Global will produce the series in partnership with The Mazur Kaplan Company and Golding’s Long House Productions and is part of the fledgling first-look pact between SK Global and Golding.

The series of thrillers follow Nameless, an amnesiac who has been assigned by a shadowy agency to dispense justice when the law fails.

The Nameless series, published by Amazon Original Stories, held all top 12 positions on the Kindle Singles Best Seller list during the month after the final story was published in June 2021.

The series will be executive produced by Sidney Kimmel, John Penotti, Charlie Corwin and Marcy Ross for SK Global, Golding via his Long House Productions label and Paula Mazur and Mitchell Kaplan for Mazur Kaplan.

The deal was negotiated on behalf of SK Global by its head of business and legal affairs, Brian Kornreich.

Golding’s upcoming credits include Netflix’s updated Jane Austen adaptation Persuasion opposite Dakota Johnson. Additionally, Golding will star in the thriller Assassin’s Club, also starring Noomi Rapace, Sam Neil and Daniella Melchoir.

His recent work included Paramount’s Snake Eyes; BBC film Monsoon, helmed by Hong Khao (Lilting); and Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen, opposite Matthew McConaughey and Hugh Grant. Golding’s breakout role came in Crazy Rich Asians, which SK Global produced.

Golding said: “I’ve long been fascinated by the idea of telling a mystery thriller in an episodic format. But to work with the master of suspense thrillers in Dean Koontz’s Nameless is beyond my expectations. To bring this exceptional series to the screen with my partners SK Global and Mazur Kaplan will be an exhilarating journey as we look to bring a fresh and unique take on Dean’s characters.”
