STARZ's UNTITLED KIRK MOORE DRAMA
- Shannon Wallace, Curtiss Cook, Lauren E. Banks, Liv Symone and Jason Dirden have been cast as series regulars on the upcoming drama starring DeWanda Wise. Wallace previously starred in the first season of Netflix's Beauty in Black and recurred on Paramount+'s Diarra From Detroit. Cook starred for three seasons in Showtime's The Chi and recurred on NBC's Chicago Med. Banks starred for three seasons in Showtime's City on a Hill and in the Paramount+ limited series Lawmen: Bass Reeves. Both Symone and Dirden recurred on Starz's Power Book III: Raising Kanan.
- Wallace will play Sebastian Clarke, a recently divorced former bull-riding champion whose career ended after an arena accident nearly took his life. Handsome, charismatic, and relentlessly ambitious, he transformed the family rodeo into one of East Texas' premier regional showcases. But what Sebastian builds with charm, he often undermines with impulse. A compulsive risk-taker in business, gambling, and love, he's determined to take the family legacy to the next level - if his self-destructive instincts don't destroy it first.
- Cook will play Elias Clarke, who is handsome, charming, and quietly persuasive. He is the Clarke siblings' estranged father and co-founder of the family rodeo with his late wife. Never one to draw much distinction between what was right and what was legal, his past choices landed him in prison and left an indelible stain on the family legacy. Recently released, Elias returns determined to earn back his children's trust; but, as he clashes with Sebastian over the future of the rodeo, it's unclear whether he has changed... or if he's simply recalibrating.
- Banks will play Wynter, Sebastian's ex-wife and mother and coach to their son, Driver. After building her entire adult life around the Clarke family and the rodeo, newly-divorced Wynter is finally asking what she wants for herself. She's ready to loosen her grip, explore life outside the arena, and maybe even a few new men.
- Symone will play Jojo Calhoun, the brazen and creative younger sister of Julius (Marcus Mitchell), a local bull-riding star and talented barrel racer. While the boys focus on their rodeo careers, Jojo feels ostracized by the more traditional women riders and cowgirls. Good thing she's an even better rapper than ride - and she's determined to be the biggest artist to ever come out of Trinity City.
- Dirden will play Greg Reagan, a respected District Court judge and Anaya's (Wise) husband. He is supportive, charming, and easygoing. But beneath the polish is real steel, along with a past he keeps carefully buried. Fiercely protective of his wife, Greg is not afraid to get his hands dirty when Anaya, or the life they've built together, is threatened.
