“i need you to know this is actually my dream role and my dream job and i couldn’t have predicted it but here we are and the fact that i get to get to be reunited with @reneeelisegoldsberry and work with the Kings(whose writing i think is some of the best on television) is an actual dream come true. The last two weeks of my life have been a real mixed bag in ways i can not properly articulate right now but definitely will in my second book and i am very VERY VERY grateful for the joy and also this job????,” Busy shared on her Instagram after the news was announced.
Busy has been cast as Natalia, “the beautiful and delightfully blunt first wife of an AI Billionaire, who divorced her when she turned forty. Now Natalia wants revenge and agrees to finance Michael and Olivia’s start-up law firm in order to go after his and other AI businesses.”
The upcoming new series is described as “a David vs. Goliath legal drama set in the heart of Silicon Valley that follows a lawyer (Mike Colter) who is being cheated out of his stock-options by his former employer, a tech start-up. Refusing to back down, he joins forces with another recently fired attorney (Rachel Keller) to represent those taken advantage of by the tech elite, and help them fight back in a high-stakes battle against the Goliaths controlling Silicon Valley.”
Renée‘s casting was announced a month ago, and also marks another couple of reunions for her.
Also cast in the series are Ella Stiller and Nik Dodani.
