The series stars Brian Tyree Henry (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Bullet Train, Hotel Artemis), an Academy Award, Emmy and Tony nominee, who also takes on an executive producer role. The ensemble cast features Wagner Moura (Elite Squad, Narcos, Marighella), Marin Ireland (Hell or High Water, Glass Chin, Homeland), Kate Mulgrew (Star Trek: Voyager, Orange Is the New Black), Nesta Cooper (See, Travelers, Bliss), Amir Arison (The Blacklist, The Dropout, Ramy, American Horror Story), Dustin Nguyen (Warrior, Little Fish, Blade of the 47 Ronin) and Golden Globe winner Ving Rhames (Pulp Fiction, Bringing Out the Dead).
