- Netflix added 10 new cast members to its "Myron Bolitar" series, with Ra'Mya Latiah Aikens joining as a series regular and nine others — Isaiah Hill, Amanda Warren, Quincy Isaiah, Bebe Neuwirth, Griffin Dunne, Melissa Benoist, Charlie Tahan, Jamie Hector, and Sandrine Holt — set as recurring guest stars.
- Colin Woodell stars as Myron Bolitar, a former NBA hopeful who reinvents himself as a sports agent after a career-ending injury, with KJ Apa and Diane Guerrero as previously announced series leads and Chloe Fineman, Jabari Banks, Jamie McShane, and Ben McKenzie as recently revealed cast members.
- David E. Kelley and Kyle Long serve as writers, showrunners, and executive producers on the series, with Greg Yaitaines set to direct multiple episodes.
- Harlan Coben executive produces via Final Twist Productions, with the show based on his 12-book Myron Bolitar novel series.
- Bebe Neuwirth and Griffin Dunne play Myron's parents — his mother, a former public defender, and his father, described as a steady source of advice — while Melissa Benoist plays a former tennis star launching a comeback five years after a mysterious on-court breakdown.
Why it matters: The casting round expands the ensemble with actors whose credits include "Bosch," "The Wire," "Supergirl," and "Winning Time," while tying the show to Harlan Coben's 12-book Myron Bolitar catalog — giving Netflix, with David E. Kelley and Coben both executive producing, a deep novel runway for future seasons.
