Diane Lane has been cast opposite Jeff Daniels in the upcoming Netflix series 'A Man in Full'. Variety has learned.
The series is based on the Tom Wolfe novel of the same name. Variety exclusively reported that the show had received a direct order from the streamer in November 2021. It comes from David E. Kelley with Regina King on board to direct and executive produce.
In the series, Atlanta real estate mogul Charlie Croker (Daniels) faces a sudden bankruptcy. Political and business interests collide as Croker defends his empire against those who try to take advantage of his fall from grace.
Lane plays Martha Croker. Martha emerges from her ex-husband's shadow as his real estate empire begins to crumble. Beware the dormant, Martha's rebuilding poses a threat both personally and financially, as three decades of marriage involves his baggage.
Lane is no stranger to Netflix audiences, having previously starred in the final season of the streamer's political drama "House of Cards." Elsewhere on the TV side, she recently starred in the FX adaptation of the graphic novel series "Y: The Last Man." She landed one of her early breakout roles in the hit miniseries "Lonesome Dove," for which she received an Emmy nomination. Lane is best known for her roles in films such as 'Under the Tuscan Sun', 'Unfaithful' and 'Hollywoodland'. Her work in "Unfaithful" earned her both Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations, while also being nominated for Golden Globes for "Under the Tuscan Sun" and the TV movie "Cinema Verite".
She is represented by Sugar23, WME, weintraub | tobin, and All Things Possible.
"A Man in Full" has received an order for six one-hour episodes from Netflix. Kelley serves as the show's writer, executive producer, and showrunner. King will direct and executive produce three episodes under her Royal Ties Productions banner. Reina King of Royal Ties and Matthew Tinker of David E. Kelley Productions will also executive produce. Royal Ties currently has a first-look deal with Netflix.
