Alec Baldwin and two more stars have joined the cast of Martin Scorsese’s forthcoming Las Vegas Netflix TV show.
Earlier this month, it was announced that Oscar Isaac would be starring in a new Netflix TV show about Las Vegas. The show did not have a title at the time of that announcement; however, it was reported that the project would be executive produced by Scorsese. Brian Koppelman and David Levien are attached as writers and showrunners.
What is the update on the Martin Scorsese Las Vegas Netflix TV show?
Per Netflix Tudum, three new cast members have joined the project, which has now been officially titled The Roman. Baldwin plays Paul “Primo” Clark, who is “a legendary and flint-eyed business technician” that serves as a father figure to Isaac’s character, though he also “isn’t afraid to let his protégés fight for his favor.”
GLOW’s Betty Gilpin, meanwhile, has been tapped to play Marla Blake, who is Isaac’s character’s “formidable” wife. She is also “a brilliant, highly connected lawyer, who knows how to navigate the town’s darkest corners just as well as her husband.”
Lastly, David Costabile, known for starring in shows such as Billions and Breaking Bad, is playing Bill Maverick, who is the operator of a rival casino.
A description of the series reads, “The Roman is an hour-long drama set in the high-stakes, sharp-elbowed present-day Las Vegas casino business, which is a modernized but still dangerous version of the legendary city. At the center of which stands Robert “Bobby Red” Redman (Isaac), president of the hottest hotel casino in town, who has to make some long odds moves to try and secure his position and take more ground.”
Isaac, Koppelman, and Levien serve as executive producers alongside Scorsese, as do Julie Yorn and Rick Yorn for Expanded Media, Paul Schiff, Beth Schacter, and JC Chandor. Chador directs the first two episodes.
A release date for The Roman has not yet been announced.
