From Wild Things to Bite Club: Dominic Monaghan of Lost and Lord of the Rings fame has found his next project.

The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Dominic Monaghan is set to star in the eight-part miniseries Bite Club.

Monaghan will play Stephen Lamb, “a troubled police officer and dog handler” with a “serious psychosexual perversion” stemming from a childhood incident with a dog, in what is being billed as an “unconventional” police procedural.

Jennifer Leacey is directing the series, which comes from Sony Pictures TV and Channel Nine Australia.

Dominic Monaghan recently starred in the psychological thriller Pet, which followed what sounds like a similar story premise: in the movie, Monaghan played an obsessive ex-boyfriend who trapped the object of his affection underneath the animal shelter in which he worked.
