Netflix has added four actors to its upcoming series based on Harlan Coben's "Myron Bolitar" novels, with former "Saturday Night Live" star Chloe Fineman landing her first major role since leaving the sketch show. Fineman, Jabari Banks ("Bel-Air") and Jamie McShane ("Task," "Wednesday") join as series regulars, while Ben McKenzie ("Gotham") takes on a recurring guest part, filling out a cast led by Colin Woodell, KJ Apa and Diane Guerrero.

The series, greenlit by Netflix in May, follows Myron Bolitar, a former basketball prospect who becomes a sports agent after an injury ends his NBA ambitions, drawing on Coben's 12-book series. Fineman will play sports reporter Parker Quinn, Banks a rising tennis star, McShane an NYPD detective, and McKenzie Myron's estranged former agent. David E. Kelley and Kyle Long are writing and showrunning as executive producers, alongside Matthew Tinker, Rick Muirragui and others, with Greg Yaitanes also directing multiple episodes.
