Guz Khan has graced the ensemble of Riz Ahmed's upcoming hilarious offering on Amazon Prime Video, as exclusively revealed by Variety. The announcement of this comedic masterpiece first echoed in June, heralding Ahmed's quadruple roles as scribe, executive producer, co-pilot, and lead protagonist of this untitled, half-hour delight.
The series embarks on the journey of Shah Latif (played by Ahmed), an aspiring actor on the brink of securing his dream role, only to be swept away into a whirlwind of existential angst and a mind-bending conspiracy caper—all in one exhilarating sweep.
Khan joins the cast in a pivotal recurring part, his character shrouded in mystery, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the mix. Renowned for his starring, co-creating, and writing prowess in the beloved BBC Three series "Man Like Mobeen," which has captivated audiences with four seasons and a fifth on the horizon, Khan's versatility extends across various TV landscapes, including "Our Flag Means Death," "The Gentlemen," "Taskmaster," and more. His cinematic credits boast films like "Army of Thieves," "The Bubble," and "How to Date Billy Walsh," further cementing his status as a multifaceted talent.
Khan is proudly represented by Curtis Brown in the UK and UTA in the US, as he embarks on this new comedic adventure. Collaborating with Ahmed, Ben Karlin co-pilots and executive produces this series, while Ahmed himself leads the charge alongside Allie Moore under their Left Handed production umbrella. Jake Fuller serves as executive producer for Jax Media, which is producing this thrilling series in partnership with Amazon MGM Studios. This project marks yet another triumph under Left Handed's first-look deal with Amazon MGM Studios, promising a laugh-out-loud experience for all.
