Filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan will executive produce a new psychological thriller series for Apple. Variety reports that Shyamalan will also direct the first episode of the series, which is being written by Tony Basgallop of 24: Live Another Day and 24: Legacy fame.

Shyamalan most recently worked on the film Split and TV series Wayward Pines; his company, Blinding Edge Pictures, will produce the series. The show has a 10-episode order, with each episode lasting half an hour.

The news is just the latest in a string of announcements for Apple, which has been investing heavily in new series. The lineup so far includes a TV series from La La Land director Damien Chazelle, a Steven Spielberg anthology series, a space drama from Battlestar Galactica creator Ronald D. Moore, a drama about a network morning show starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, and a futuristic drama from the director of the Hunger Games franchise.
