Political junkies and television fans still mourning the end of Netflix’s White House drama “House of Cards” now have something new to look forward to together: CBS Studios is filming a miniseries in D.C. based on former FBI director James Comey’s 2018 book “A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership.”

The four-hour TV series is set to be released some time next year. Film cameras and crew have begun cropping up around Washington, including down by the National Mall. Parts of the series will also film in Toronto.

The role of President Trump will be played by heavily jowled Irish actor Brendan Gleeson, according to IMDb. Comey will be played by Jeff Daniels, who recently wrapped his Tony-nominated run in “To Kill a Mockingbird” on Broadway.

The rest of the character list reads like an old front page of The New York Times: There’s former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus ( to be played by T.R. Knight, a.k.a. that doctor from “Grey’s Anatomy”), Department of Justice special counsel Robert Mueller (Peter Coyote), former U.S. Deputy Attorneys General Sally Yates (Oscar-winner Holly Hunter) and Rod Rosenstein (Scoot McNairy), former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe (Michael Kelly, he of “House of Cards” fame), former national security advisor Michael Flynn (William Sadler) and more.

Comey’s book drew praise from some reviewers for his impassioned plea for “ethical leadership” and government transparency at a time of political turbulence. He detailed his childhood and early career as New York prosecutor battling the Mob, as well as his controversial decisions concerning the FBI’s investigation during the 2016 presidential campaign into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.

Trump fired Comey in the spring of 2017 amidst the bureau’s investigation into Russian interference in the presidential election. Comey famously learned of his firing from TV news reports — a story he details in his memoir.

There’s no word yet on whether any of the D.C. bars that offered food and drink specials during Comey’s testimony before the Senate a few years back will host watch parties for the new show.
