Juliette Lewis Joins Kumail Nanjiani in Hulu Limited Series IMMIGRANT
Oscar-nominated actress Juliette Lewis (Cape Fear, Natural Born Killers, Yellowjackets) has joined the cast of the Hulu limited series Immigrant. She joins previously announced cast members Kumail Nanjiani (The Big Sick, Eternals), who will star as the creator of the male revue Chippendale’s, as well as Murray Bartlett, Dan Stevens, Annaleigh Ashford, Nicola Peltz, Andrew Rannells, Robin de Jesus, and Quentin Plair.
Pam & Tommy creator Robert Siegel created the series, and is writing and executive producing, with Matt Shakman (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, WandaVision) directing.
“Immigrant is the true story of Somen “Steve” Banerjee (Nanjiani), the Indian-American entrepreneur who started Chippendales. The series will detail the insane, darkly comedic, crime-ridden story behind the unique male revue that became a cultural phenomenon.”
Lewis will play the series regular role of Denise. “Straight-talking, no-nonsense Denise goes from Chippendales groupie to loyal right-hand consigliere to its choreographer, Nick De Noia (Murray Bartlett). She looks after the New York club, as well as the Chippendales national tours, and weathers the increasingly volatile relationship between De Noia and Chippendales founder Steve Banerjee (Nanjiani).”
