NETFLIX's ALTERED CARBON
- Chris Conner (Bones) and Ato Essandoh (Vinyl) have joined the cast of the upcoming drama starring Joel Kinnaman. Conner will play Poe, a centuries-old, highly-evolved Artificial Intelligence who is currently inhabiting the psyche of Edgar Allen Poe.

Essandoh will play Vernon Elliot, an ex-Protectorate Tactical Marine whose wife was imprisoned and whose daughter was killed. A man with little to live for, save the hope of bringing his family back together.

TNT's WILL
- Max Bennett (The Hollow Crown, Endeavour) has landed a series regular role on the upcoming drama starring Laurie Davidson. He will play Robert Southwell, Will's (Davidson) cousin and the most wanted man in England. His words are more dangerous than the Spanish Armada.

Tied by bonds of duty, family and faith, Will struggles to reconcile his relationship with this seductively dangerous man.
