Director Billy Ray told Deadline that he's really excited about the prospect of Gleeson playing President Trump.
"It's hard to imagine a bigger acting challenge than playing Donald Trump," he said.
"You have to have presence, and a singular kind of dynamism. You also have to have the courage and the will to play Trump's psychology from the inside out.
"Oh, and you have to be spectacularly talented and watchable. Not many actors check all those boxes. Brendan does. I'm ecstatic about this."
Ray added that he spent over a year researching the project to ensure that he presents the story as fair and as accurately as possible.
Gleeson, born in Dublin, is best known for his roles in In Bruges, Harry Potter, and more recently, the Stephen King TV adaptation of Mr Mercedes.
The new series is set to start shooting next month. Alex Kurtzman, Shane Salerno and Heather Kadin are executive producing.
A release date has yet to be announced, but at this stage, we're probably looking at a 2020 release.
