Mindy Kaling’s Netflix basketball series still doesn’t have an official title, but that didn’t stop her from attracting an impressive cast. Max Greenfield, Uche Agada, and Dane DiLiegro are the latest stars to join this promising series, set in the cutthroat world of the NBA.
Kate Hudson will lead this series in the role of Isla Gordon, who unexpectedly finds herself leading the Los Angeles Waves, one of the top NBA franchises, after a scandal forces her brother to resign. She must prove to everyone from her brothers to the sports community at large that she has what it takes to conquer the male-dominated world of sports.
Greenfield (New Girl) joined the series as Isla Gordon’s fiancé, a good-natured pediatrician Lev Levy. Uche Agada (Rise) will play eager and naïve rookie Dyson Gibbs, who just wants to prove himself, while Dane DiLiegro (American Horror Stories) will portray the Eastern European player Badrag Knauss, who often surprises the team with his thoughtfulness.
The list of previously announced supporting players also includes Scott MacArthur (The Righteous Gemstones) and Drew Tarver (The Other Two) as Isla’s brothers Ness and Sandy, Brenda Song (Dollface) as The Waves’ chief of staff Ali Lee, plus Fabrizio Guido, Toby Sandeman, Chet Hanks, Keyla Monterroso Mejia, and Roberto Sanchez in recurring roles.
