Clooney will be seen in the series along Hugh Laurie and Oscar nominated Italian actor Giancarlo Giannini. Shooting is reported to be done on an airfield at Venafiorita, near Olbia, which was used by the German military during the Second World War. This series is slated to be shown on Channel 4 next year.
