Netflix has officially titled its highly anticipated Las Vegas drama starring Oscar Isaac as The Roman, while announcing the addition of three major series regulars to the cast.
Joining Isaac are Betty Gilpin (GLOW), Alec Baldwin, and David Costabile (Billions), further elevating the star power of this high-stakes production. Gilpin is set to play Marla Blake, the formidable and well-connected lawyer wife of Isaac’s character, Bobby Red, while Baldwin takes on the role of Paul “Primo” Clark, the organization’s legendary chairman and a surrogate father figure to Bobby.
Created and executive produced by Brian Koppelman and David Levien, the creative minds behind Billions and Super Pumped, the hour-long drama explores the dangerous and modernized world of the present-day Las Vegas casino business. At the heart of The Roman is Robert “Bobby Red” Redman (Isaac), the president of the city’s hottest hotel-casino, who must navigate intense professional rivalries and long-odds power moves to secure his position.
The Roman boasts an impressive creative team, with Martin Scorsese serving as executive producer and JC Chandor directed the first two episodes. David Costabile rounds out the ensemble as Bill Saverick, a rival casino operator who finds himself caught between his long-standing friendship with Bobby and the ruthless maneuvers of the Vegas business scene.
