- Vincent Pastore appears in his final television role in the Gravesend Season 3 trailer; he died August 1 at age 80 from what is believed to be natural causes at his Bronx, NY home, having portrayed Donnie Glisto in the series.
- Shaquille O'Neal joins Gravesend Season 3 as both a new cast member and executive producer, marking his debut in the William DeMeo-created, written, and directed series.
- Season 3 newcomers include Tony Danza, Talia Shire, Dominic Chianese, and Vincent Curatola alongside O'Neal, expanding an already mob-drama-heavy ensemble.
- Returning stars include Chazz Palminteri, Armand Assante, Mario Cantone, Tony Darrow, and Chuck Zito, with Michele Frantzeskos serving as producer.
- Gravesend, an independently produced series streaming on Prime Video, is set for a fall Season 3 premiere.
Why it matters: The trailer functions as a posthumous showcase for Pastore, 80, whose Donnie Glisto gets one last screen appearance weeks after his August 1 death. Pairing that farewell with O'Neal's dual cast-and-EP hire gives an independently produced Prime Video mob series a mainstream spotlight heading into its fall premiere.
