American actress Diane Lane has been cast opposite Jeff Daniels in Netflix's limited series “A Man in Full”.
The series is based on the Tom Wolfe novel of the same name. It received a straight-to-series order at the streamer in November 2021.
“A Man in Full” consists of six episodes and hails from David E. Kelley with Regina King onboard to direct and executive produce.
"A Man In Full" follows Atlanta real estate mogul Charlie Croker (Daniels) faces sudden bankruptcy. Political and business interests collide as he defends his empire from those attempting to capitalize on his fall from grace.
Lane plays Martha Croker who emerges from the shadow of her ex-husband (Daniels) as his empire begins to crumble. The rebuild poses a threat both personally and financially as three decades of marriage come with its baggage.
Kelley serves as writer, executive producer, and showrunner, with King directing three episodes and exec producing as part of her first-look deal with Netflix via her Royal Ties production company. Matthew Tinker also executive produces.
Lane recently starred in the FX adaptation of the graphic novel series “Y: The Last Man”.
The acclaimed actress is primarily known for her roles in movies like “Under the Tuscan Sun”, “Unfaithful”, and “Hollywoodland”.
