Oscar Isaac signs new Netflix deal, heads to Vegas

Oscar Isaac has solidified his partnership with Netflix, agreeing to star in and executive produce a forthcoming drama series based in Las Vegas. This new project, ordered by the streamer in December, is helmed by "Billions" creators Brian Koppelman and David Levien, with Martin Scorsese also serving as an executive producer.

Isaac will portray Robert Redman, also known as Bobby Red, who holds the position of president at a leading hotel-casino in Las Vegas. The narrative will delve into his ambitious strategies and calculated risks as he aims to consolidate and extend his influence within the city's competitive landscape.

Furthermore, Isaac's production company, Mad Gene, led by himself, Elvira Lind, and Gena Konstantinakos, has entered into a first-look deal with Netflix. This agreement entails the development of both series and movie projects exclusively for the streaming giant, marking a significant expansion of their collaboration.

This commitment follows Isaac's recent prominent roles on Netflix, including his appearance in the second season of "Beef," which was released in April. His upcoming projects for Netflix also include Guillermo del Toro's adaptation of "Frankenstein" and Julian Schnabel's "In the Hand of Dante," slated for release later this year.
