## Summary

Andrea Riseborough has joined the cast of the Paramount+ limited series "9/12", starring opposite Jeremy Strong. The six-episode drama dramatises the David-and-Goliath legal battle that exposed corruption and secured justice for the ailing first responders of the 11 September 2001 attacks, a fight the series frames as reshaping the struggle for accountability.

Riseborough, an Oscar nominee for "To Leslie", plays Molly, a resilient wife worried about her family's future and the health of her husband, a former NYPD officer nicknamed Coach who is suffering from leukaemia and played by Barry Pepper. Strong ("Succession", "The Apprentice") portrays renowned class action attorney Jason Smith, who took on entrenched institutions in a legal war stretching nearly a decade to win almost $1 billion in compensation. The series is written and executive produced by Tobias Lindholm — who also directs — and Frank Pugliese, with Strong also serving as an executive producer.
