Netflix has added several high-profile actors to the growing ensemble for its adaptation of Harlan Coben’s bestselling Myron Bolitar novels, with Bebe Neuwirth and Griffin Dunne among the latest cast members announced. The latest additions further round out the central cast as production continues on the drama, which is being developed by David E. Kelley and Kyle Long.

Based on Coben’s 12-book series, Myron Bolitar follows a former college basketball standout whose NBA aspirations are cut short by injury. Reinventing himself as a sports agent, Myron becomes entangled in dangerous investigations while protecting his clients, blending crime, suspense and sports drama.

Neuwirth and Dunne joins a series led by Colin Woodell as former basketball star-turned-sports agent Myron Bolitar, alongside KJ Apa as his wealthy and formidable friend Win Lockwood and Diane Guerrero as trusted associate Esperanza Diaz.  Neuwirth will portray Ellen Bolitar, Myron’s mother, a former public defender whose family remained close after her son’s professional basketball career ended prematurely because of injury. Dunne has been cast as Alan Bolitar, Myron’s supportive father and a trusted source of advice. Netflix also confirmed Amanda Warren as Dwayne Richmond’s mother, Deanna; Quincy Isaiah as NBA player Rodney Keys; Isaiah Hill as top basketball prospect Jayden Elder; and Ra’Mya Latiah Aikens as Wanda Green, the fiancée of tennis standout Dwayne Richmond.

The announcement follows an earlier wave of casting that brought Jabari Banks aboard as rising tennis star Dwayne Richmond, Chloe Fineman as sports reporter Parker Quinn, Jamie McShane as NYPD homicide detective Ray Dimonte and Ben McKenzie in a recurring role as rival sports agent Gavin Pierce.

The series marks the latest collaboration between Netflix and Coben, whose novels have inspired multiple successful adaptations for the streaming service. A premiere date has not yet been announced.

Netflix has canceled the romantic Western drama “Ransom Canyon” after two seasons, ending the series starring Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly.

Kelly addressed the cancellation in a social media post, thanking the cast, crew and viewers who supported the series, writing: “Appreciating this little trip down memory lane as we say farewell. All good things must come to an end. And so it is. Thank you all for giving us two beautiful seasons! I love you forever my Ransom Canyon family!! ”

The cancellation comes less than two months after Season 2 premiered July 23. According to reports, the second season opened with 4.1 million views during its first week, a 43% decline from the 7.2 million views recorded for the first season’s debut. Season 2 also spent three weeks in Netflix’s Top 10, compared with four weeks for its predecessor. The second season had eight episodes, down from 10 in Season 1, and underwent changes to its supporting cast and story.

Created by April Blair and based on Jodi Thomas’ book series, the drama, which premiered in April 2025, followed three ranching families in a small Texas community, with Duhamel playing rancher Staten Kirkland and Kelly portraying Quinn O’Grady, a longtime friend whose relationship with Staten developed into the series’ central romance.  Series creator Blair had envisioned additional stories for the characters, as Season 2 concluded with Quinn rejecting a marriage proposal from her boyfriend, Oliver, leaving the door open for a future with Staten. Blair had also discussed continuing the couple’s story and expanding other character arcs in a potential third season. She previously told Entertainment Weekly that “the end of Season 2 isn’t the end of [Staten and Quinn’s] story. It’s actually just the beginning.”

Both seasons of “Ransom Canyon” remain available to stream on Netflix.

Amazon MGM Studios has released the first teaser trailer for The Thomas Crown Affair, offering an early look at Michael B. Jordan’s reimagining of the classic heist romance. The film follows the 1968 original version, starring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway, as well as the 1999 remake led by Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo.

Jordan stars as the wealthy and enigmatic Thomas Crown while also directing and producing the film, marking his second feature behind the camera following Creed III. The teaser highlights a blend of high-end action, suspense and romance as Crown carries out daring art thefts while staying one step ahead of those trying to stop him.

Adria Arjona co-stars as the sharp investigator whose pursuit of Crown gradually evolves into a romantic relationship, reviving the cat-and-mouse dynamic that defined earlier versions of the story. The footage showcases elaborate museum break-ins, rooftop climbs, high-speed chases and international locations while teasing a more contemporary interpretation of the character. Rather than stealing simply for excitement, this version of Crown appears motivated by reclaiming valuable artifacts that were taken from their original owners, giving the familiar premise a new narrative direction.

The ensemble cast also includes Kenneth Branagh, Lily Gladstone, Danai Gurira, Pilou Asbæk, Ruth Negga and Aiysha Hart. Jon Batiste composed the film’s score, continuing the production’s emphasis on style and sophistication. Jordan previously said he wanted to create “a reimagination” instead of a straightforward remake, preserving the glamour and romance of the earlier films while updating the story for modern audiences.

The new film is scheduled to open exclusively in theaters on March 5, 2027; see the trailer: HERE.
