Netflix has added several high-profile actors to the growing ensemble for its adaptation of Harlan Coben’s bestselling Myron Bolitar novels, with Bebe Neuwirth and Griffin Dunne among the latest cast members announced. The latest additions further round out the central cast as production continues on the drama, which is being developed by David E. Kelley and Kyle Long.

Based on Coben’s 12-book series, Myron Bolitar follows a former college basketball standout whose NBA aspirations are cut short by injury. Reinventing himself as a sports agent, Myron becomes entangled in dangerous investigations while protecting his clients, blending crime, suspense and sports drama.

Neuwirth and Dunne joins a series led by Colin Woodell as former basketball star-turned-sports agent Myron Bolitar, alongside KJ Apa as his wealthy and formidable friend Win Lockwood and Diane Guerrero as trusted associate Esperanza Diaz.  Neuwirth will portray Ellen Bolitar, Myron’s mother, a former public defender whose family remained close after her son’s professional basketball career ended prematurely because of injury. Dunne has been cast as Alan Bolitar, Myron’s supportive father and a trusted source of advice. Netflix also confirmed Amanda Warren as Dwayne Richmond’s mother, Deanna; Quincy Isaiah as NBA player Rodney Keys; Isaiah Hill as top basketball prospect Jayden Elder; and Ra’Mya Latiah Aikens as Wanda Green, the fiancée of tennis standout Dwayne Richmond.

The announcement follows an earlier wave of casting that brought Jabari Banks aboard as rising tennis star Dwayne Richmond, Chloe Fineman as sports reporter Parker Quinn, Jamie McShane as NYPD homicide detective Ray Dimonte and Ben McKenzie in a recurring role as rival sports agent Gavin Pierce.

The series marks the latest collaboration between Netflix and Coben, whose novels have inspired multiple successful adaptations for the streaming service. A premiere date has not yet been announced.
