- Diane Lane has joined the Hulu-Onyx Collective limited series 'Victoria' as Lee Calloway, a venture capitalist 'accustomed to getting what she wants'
- Li Jun Li stars as Maxine Tao, 'a brilliant con artist' caught in a dark web of power and luxury with a 'seductive killer who knows her secrets' — the series order was announced last week
- Christy Hall serves as creator, writer, executive producer, and showrunner, while Geeta Vasant Patel directs the pilot and executive produces
- Lilly Burns, Elise Henderson, and Tony Hernandez of Counterpart Studios executive produce, with Li co-producing alongside her starring role
- Lane's recent TV run includes 'A Man in Full' and 'House of Cards' at Netflix, Season 2 of 'Feud' for FX/Hulu, and 'The Romanoffs' at Amazon — a sustained prestige-TV pivot from her film career
- Lane is repped by CAA, Range, and Weintraub; her Oscar and Golden Globe nominations came for 'Unfaithful,' with additional Globe nods for 'Under the Tuscan Sun' and 'Cinema Verite'
Why it matters: Lane adds A-list film credibility — she is an Oscar-nominated actress joining an erotic thriller limited series at Hulu-Onyx Collective, the Disney-owned imprint targeting prestige adult drama. The series order was just announced last week, and Lane's casting as a power-broker venture capitalist opposite Li's con artist points to a cat-and-mouse dynamic built around two women in high-stakes financial worlds.
