Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry boyfriend and pussy posse benchwarmer, is moving to TV. He’s signed on to produce and star in the Amazon series Carnival Row as a police inspector — but not just any old police inspector, as he’ll be doing his job in no ordinary world. According to a release, the series is a “fantasy-noir set in a neo-Victorian city†where “mythical creatures fleeing their war-torn homeland have gathered in the city, and tensions are simmering between citizens and the growing immigrant population.†Bloom’s character is Rycroft Philostrate, who’s trying to get to the bottom of a faerish refugee’s death. Amazon has ordered the show’s eight-episode first season straight to series as part of its recent emphasis on straight-to-series orders. Carnival Row is based on A Killing on Carnival Row, a script by Travis Beacham (Pacific Rim, Clash of the Titans) that appeared on the first Hollywood Black List back in 2005. Bloom has done guest spots on TV before — notably in Netflix’s Easy — but this is the first time he’ll lead a series. Glad to see he’s returned to his mythical roots.
