Overview
- Ali’s casting, reported Monday by multiple outlets, places him as Eddie Barnes, a DEA agent in Philadelphia whose team collides with Tom Brandis’s unit.
- Season 2 centers on Brandis taking charge of a new task force, with the logline teasing an operation where the target grows hard to define.
- The show is in pre-production with creator Brad Ingelsby back as writer and showrunner, and executive producers including Mark Ruffalo, Paul Lee, Mark Roybal, Jeremiah Zagar, and Ron Schmidt.
- Production plans call for filming in and around Philadelphia, backed by a $49.8 million Pennsylvania tax credit that state officials say will drive thousands of local jobs and major regional spending.
- Ruffalo and Ali are the only confirmed cast so far, and HBO has not announced a filming start or premiere date.
