Another work Tan will headline will be the much-anticipated adaptation of David Ignatius's novel Quantum Spy. He will also co-executive produce the show on top of starring in it.
The Mortal Kombat star will play Harris Chang, a newly assigned Chinese-American CIA officer. He is going after a Chinese spy who has sensitive data from a top-secret American quantum research lab.
Tan took to Instagram to break the news, calling Quantum Spy a written series with an "Asian American James Bond feel."
