Tramell Tillman, best known for Severance, has signed up for Mission: Impossible 8, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Tillman joins actors who are new to the franchise such as Katy O’Brian, Hannah Waddingham, and Nick Offerman, alongside franchise veterans including Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg, and Ving Rhames. Christopher McQuarrie is returning to direct the eight film in the long-running Mission Impossible franchise, with Cruise serving as a producer. The makers are yet to reveal any plot details of the Skydance and Paramount film or Tillman's character information.

In Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning, Cruise's IMF agent character goes up against a sentient AI tool that penetrates networks, mimics human form and voice, and threatens to destroy the world. Formerly known as Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 2, the eight MI film is slated for a May 23, 2025, release. The film also stars Vanessa Kirby, Pom Klementieff, and Hayley Atwell.

Severance earned Tillman nominations at the Spirit Award and SAG Awards. The actor will come back for Severance season 2 as well.

His other projects are Dietland, Hunters, and Godfather of Harlem.
