The Tattooist of Auschwitz has added another big name to its cast.
Peacock announced Wednesday that Harvey Keitel will be joining the cast in the lead role of modern-day Lale Sokolov.
The series is an adaptation of the globally bestselling novel, The Tattooist of Auschwitz, by Heather Morris, produced by Synchronicity Films in association with Sky Studios.
Peacock says the series "is inspired by the heart-breaking true-life story of Lale and Gita Sokolov."
"Lale (Jonah Hauer-King) arrived at Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1942, and shortly after arrival, he was made one of the tätowierer (tattooists), charged to ink identification numbers onto fellow prisoners’ arms."
"One day, he meets Gita (Anna Próchniak) when tattooing her prisoner number on her arm."
"They experience love at first sight, and so begins a courageous, unforgettable, and human story."
"Under constant guard from a volatile SS officer Baretzki (Jonas Nay), Lale and Gita became determined to keep each other alive.

“Wonder Woman 1984” star Connie Nielsen and “Doctor Who’s” Christopher Eccleston are set to star in psychological drama “Close to Me,” the first English-language drama to originate from Nordic Entertainment Group’s (Nent) fledgling U.K. operation.
Nent Studios U.K. is adapting British author Amanda Reynolds’ novel “Close to Me” in an eponymous six-part series that will debut on Nent Group-backed streamer Viaplay in the Nordic and Baltic regions as an Original, and air in the U.K. on Channel 4, which has acquired the project.
Mexican outfit Dopamine, which recently partnered with Nent Studios U.K. for scripted programs, will serve as a co-production partner on the series — a rare English-language scripted co-production for a Latin American business — while Nent Studios U.K. will distribute the title internationally.
