Per THR, Netflix’s official description for the show reads: “Death by Lightning is a drama series that brings to life the epic and stranger-than-fiction true story of James Garfield, reluctant 20th President of the United States, and his greatest admirer Charles Guiteau — the man who would come to kill him.”Macfadyen has recently enjoyed a stellar awards season for his work as Tom Wambsgans on HBO’s Succession Season 5, winning a second consecutive Emmy Award for best supporting actor in a drama alongside a Golden Globe and a BAFTA Award.
