Netflix has finalised the cast for its upcoming drama series based on Harlan Coben's "Myron Bolitar" novels, adding four actors including former "Saturday Night Live" star Chloe Fineman, who lands 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 a recurring guest part, rounding 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 reinvents himself as a sports agent after an injury ends his NBA career, drawing on Coben's 12-book series. Fineman plays sports reporter Parker Quinn, Banks a rising tennis prodigy, McShane an NYPD homicide 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 Coben himself, with Greg Yaitanes directing multiple episodes.
