Netflix‘s “Myron Bolitar” drama series has cast its three lead roles. Variety has learned that Colin Woodell will star in the title role alongside KJ Apa as Win Lockwood and Diane Guerrero as Esperanza Diaz.
Netflix originally announced the series pickup in May as part of their upfront presentation to advertisers. The show is inspired by Harlan Coben’s popular Myron Bolitar books, of which 12 have been published.
The logline for the show states, “After an injury ends his NBA dreams, Myron Bolitar (Woodell) reinvents himself as a sports agent — using charm, smarts, and a ruthless partner to navigate the high-stakes and dirty world of sports, where saving his clients often means risking himself.”
Bolitar is further described as “A former college basketball star whose NBA career came to an abrupt end, Myron reinvented himself as a sports agent. He built his agency – MB Sports – on an unwavering belief in overlooked athletes, with the same heart and fierce competitive drive he once brought to the court.”
Woodell previously starred in the Netflix medical drama “Pulse” and recently appeared in the HBO comedy series “I Love LA.” He is also known for starring in the “John Wick” prequel series “The Continental” and for playing Buzz Aldrin in the Greg Berlanti “Fly Me to the Moon.” His other TV credits include “The Flight Attendant” at HBO Max.
