From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

David Thewlis, known to a younger generation as Harry Potter character Remus Lupin, will appear in a recurring role in the FX series.

The British actor joins the likes of Ewan McGregor (twice), Carrie Coon (The Leftovers) and Mary Elizabeth Winstead (10 Cloverfield Lane) as a series regular; he'll be playing a mysterious loner who has bad news for Emmit Stussy, one-half of the sibling duo McGregor will play.

Australian actor Scoot McNairy will also add showrunner Noah Hawley's series to his extensive list of film credits which include Monsters, Killing Them Softly, Argo, 12 Years a Slave, Frank, Gone Girl and Batman v Superman.

Thewlis' other credits include James and the Giant Peach, The Big Lebowski, Kingdom of Heaven and Macbeth. He played Lupin in a total of five Harry Potter films.

The series will begin filming this month with a 2017 airdate yet to be announced.
