Dev Patel (born 23 April 1990) is a British actor. He began his career playing Anwar Kharral in the E4 teen drama Skins (2007). His breakthrough came with the leading role of teenager Jamal Malik in Danny Boyle's drama Slumdog Millionaire (2008), for which Patel was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role. Patel's career expanded with leading roles in the comedy-dramas The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011) and The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2015), the science fiction thriller Chappie (2015), and a supporting role in the HBO series The Newsroom (2012–2014). For his performance as Saroo Brierley in the drama Lion (2016), Patel won the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. He subsequently starred in the independent films Hotel Mumbai (2018), The Personal History of David Copperfield (2019) and The Green Knight (2021), and made his directorial debut with the action film Monkey Man (2024).

After the previous one seemingly eliminated the possibility of any more supernatural threats in Ollyverse, the third miniseries in the saga brings a more grounded story, focusing on Sergei Lazarov. After losing Michael and Gavin, Sergei and Scott get two new members of the team and, under the guidance of Major Konstantin, declare war on Moscow's kingpin of crime, Maksim Sazkaljovich. The mission goes awry and, even though Maksim is killed, the fallout of the mission is far from what Konstantin had hoped for. Maksim's empire is taken over by his daughter Olga, who is trying to maintain a form of peace, while her brother Vasily, who was crippled in the mission, vows to take vengeance on Sergei and his team. Sergei starts receiving creepy texts which seem to be coming from Aleks Marchant, reigniting his guilt-driven anxiety, distancing him from his team and making him question his secret love relationship with Olga. Vasily joins forces with his cousin Voz to find a way to take his revenge without Olga's knowledge, but things get complicated with the arrival of his American girlfriend Carmella. Cat-and-mouse games intensify, as Sergei and his team try to solve the mystery of Aleks' ghost and a powerful entity starts pulling strings which could destabilize all of Russia, and the world.
