Oscar Isaac Set to Star in Las Vegas Casino Drama Series at Netflix
Oscar Isaac (Moon Knight, Frankenstein, Beef) is set to take on the lead role in an upcoming Netflix drama set in a Las Vegas casino. The show was originally announced in December and hails from creators Brian Koppelman and David Levien. Netflix has given the series an eight-episode order.
With the casting, Isaac has also entered into a producing deal with the streamer, under which Netflix will have first-look rights on film and series projects with Isaac, Elvira Lind, and Gena Konstantinakos’ production company, Mad Gene.
The official logline for the Vegas show describes it as 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.”
Koppelman and Levien are writers, executive producers, and showrunners on the untitled Vegas drama. Isaac will executive produce in addition to starring via Mad Gene.
Martin Scorsese and Sikelia Productions also executive produce along with Julie Yorn and Rick Yorn for Expanded Media, Paul Schiff, and Beth Schacter. Kerry Orent will co-executive produce. JC Chandor will direct and executive produce.
