The Seagull, which is where his agent first noticed him. Davidson was a newcomer to television prior to his
Will casting; his prior work included stage work and a minor role in the film
Vampire Academy. He has also been cast in the
BBC film
Diana & I as a journalist who is present at the time of the death of

The Favourite suggested that he audition for
Will. He had several rounds of auditions. Just as school was set to resume following Christmas of his final year at LAMDA and as he was set to play
Tevye in a school production of
Fiddler on the Roof, he was informed in January 2016 that he was cast in
Will, and he dropped out of
Fiddler to shoot the show's pilot. but he did use
Straight Outta Compton and
8Mile for inspiration, on the advice of director
Shekhar Kapur. He also relied on the works attributed to Shakespeare to learn about him.
TNT picked up the show in May 2016, but Davidson graduated from LAMDA in July 2016—on schedule.
Will premiered on 10 July 2017.
