Casting News - February 4, 2025

AppleTV+'s Neuromancer; Netflix's The Lincoln Lawyer; and Peacock's PONIES.





NETFLIX's THE LINCOLN LAWYER
  • Constance Zimmer has joined the cast of the drama's upcoming fourth season. She previously starred for four seasons in Lifetime's UnREAL, receiving an Emmy Award nomination for her role in 2016. She also recurred on ABC's A Million Little Things, Showtime's Shameless, Freeform's Good Trouble and ABC's Big Sky.
  • She will play Dana Berg. A colleague of Maggie's (Neve Campbell) from her days in the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office, she is a relentless prosecutor who will let nothing stand in the way of a guilty verdict, a single-mindedness which has earned her the nickname "Death Row Dana." A fierce and ruthless adversary who bends the rules to her advantage, she is the last person Mickey (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) wants to find himself going up against in what will be the trial of his life.
APPLE TV+'s NEUROMANCER
  • Mark Strong will co-star on the upcoming drama starring Callum Turner and Briana Middleton. He recently starred in the first season of HBO's Dune: Prophecy. He also appeared in the films Zero Dark Thirty, Tár, 1917 and Cruella.
  • He will play Armitage, Case (Turner) and Molly's (Middleton) mysterious employer.
PEACOCK's PONIES
  • Adrian Lester, Artjom Gilz, Nicholas Podany, Petro Ninovskyi and Vic Michaelis have joined the cast of the upcoming drama starring Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson. Lester previously starred in the Peacock limited series The Undeclared War and in Disney+'s one-season drama Renegade Nell. Gilz starred for two seasons in Sky One's Das Boot. Podany starred in AppleTV+'s one-season dramedy Hello Tomorrow!. Ninovskyi starred in the first season of the Ukrainian series Silence. Michaelis currently hosts the web series Very Important People on Dropout.
  • Lester will play Dane, the head of the CIA station in Moscow. Precise and impossible to read, his job is secrets and he has plenty of his own.
  • Gilz will play Andrei. Alluring, with the air of a '70s rock star, he may be the most intimidating and dangerous KGB officer in Moscow.
  • Podany will play Ray, an earnest, midlevel CIA analyst. He is equally underestimated by his government and wife.
  • Ninovskyi will play Sasha, a technician for top-secret Soviet technology. She also has a soft spot for romance novels and American culture.
  • Michaelis will play Cheryl, a type-A queen bee of the embassy wives. She also rules the roost as the office manager. She never misses an opportunity to point out when our heroes make mistakes or remind her doting husband, Ray, that he's lucky to be with her.
