## Hold onto Your Hats, St. Louis: Arlan Ruf Is Bringing the Heat to HBO
Get ready for a wild ride through the heart of the Midwest! HBO has just dropped a bombshell announcement: Arlan Ruf is joining the cast of their upcoming limited series, “DTF St. Louis,” alongside the hilarious Jason Bateman and the powerhouse that is David Harbour. This isn’t just another streaming drama; it’s a story packed with intrigue, dark humor, and a whole lot of St. Louis flavor.
Arlan Ruf to Co-Star Opposite Jason Bateman and David Harbour in HBO Limited Series ‘DTF St. Louis’
Arlan Ruf, a promising up-and-coming young actor, will co-star opposite Jason Bateman and David Harbour in the HBO limited series ‘DTF St. Louis’, Variety has learned. The seven-episode show comes from creator and showrunner Steven Conrad (‘The Secret Life of Walter Mitty’, ‘Wonder’). HBO describes ‘DTF St. Louis’ as a dark comedy about a love triangle between three adults experiencing middle-age malaise – an entanglement that leads to one of them ending up dead.
Bateman has been busy since ending his run on Netflix’s crime series ‘Ozark’. He co-starred in the streamer’s suspense hit, ‘Carry On’ and is working on its new limited series ‘Black Rabbit’. Harbour is finishing up ‘Stranger Things’. He will co-star in Marvel’s ‘Thunderbolts*’, which opens in May. Linda Cardellini (‘Freaks & Geeks’) and Oscar-nominee Richard Jenkins (‘The Shape of Water’) will also star.
Ruf’s Role and Upcoming Projects
Ruf will play the role of Richard, the socially maladjusted, delinquent stepson of Harbour’s character. Ruf will next be seen in the McG-directed Apple original film ‘Way of the Warrior Kid’ opposite Cardellini, Chris Pratt, Jude Hill and Levi McConaughey.
The 11-year-old began his acting career by accident when his travel baseball coach insisted he play the role of the disgruntled Halloween Clown in a viral short film ‘Tricked No Treat’. Ruf is repped by Paradigm and AFA Prime Talent Media.
Production Team and Cast
Conrad is executive producing the series with Bateman and Michael Costigan of Aggregate Films; Harbour; Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch of Escape Artists; Molly Allen, Bruce Terris, Kristina Wenson of Bravo Axolotl; and James Lasdun and MGM Television.
