May 7 (UPI) -- Beef and Frankenstein actor Oscar Isaac has signed on to star in and executive produce an as-yet-untitled Netflix drama about Las Vegas casinos.

Brian Koppelman and David Levien are the showrunners/executive producers/writers on the eight-episode series.

The pair previously wrote Rounders, Ocean's Thirteen and Billions.

Martin Scorsese -- whose credits include Casino and Boardwalk Empire -- is executive producing the new series.

"The hour-long drama is set in the high-stakes, sharp-elbowed present-day Las Vegas casino business, which is a modernized but still dangerous version of the legendary city," the streaming service said in a press release Wednesday.
