Starz Acquires Drama Series ‘The Nowhere Man’ Starring Naturi Naughton-Lewis
STARZ has acquired the exclusive U.S. rights to “The Nowhere Man,” a thrilling six-part drama series starring Bonko Khoza (The Woman King) and Naturi Naughton-Lewis (“Power,” “Power Book II: Ghost,” Notorious).
The series follows a tormented ex-mercenary, Lukas, who is drawn back into a world of violence after he witnesses a home invasion. It will be available to stream weekly on Fridays beginning January 16, 2026, only on the STARZ app and all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms.
In “The Nowhere Man,” Lukas (Khoza), a former Special Forces mercenary crippled by PTSD, has turned his back on his violent past and is operating as a junk collector on the streets of Johannesburg. But when he witnesses a home invasion and intervenes, he is dragged back into the world he’s spent years trying to escape. To survive, he will have to come face-to-face with his demons and confront the dark secrets of his old life.

It’s especially meaningful to be reunited with my STARZ family to tell a bold, action-packed, globally relevant story. I can’t wait for audiences to dive in headfirst,” says Naughton-Lewis.
