Netflix Greenlights Las Vegas Casino Drama From Billions Creators, With Martin Scorsese as EP

Netflix orders eight episodes with casting to come, centered on the modern casino power game.

Overview

  • Brian Koppelman and David Levien will create, write, showrun and executive produce the untitled series.
  • The hour-long drama follows Robert “Bobby Red” Redman, the president of the city’s hottest hotel-casino navigating high-risk moves to secure and expand his position.
  • Martin Scorsese joins as an executive producer via Sikelia Productions, reuniting with the Billions duo after prior collaborations.
  • The project began from an idea by Julie and Rick Yorn with Scorsese as a period concept and shifted to a contemporary take after Koppelman and Levien came aboard.
  • Additional executive producers include Julie Yorn, Rick Yorn, Paul Schiff and Beth Schacter, with Kerry Orent as co-executive producer; Netflix notes the series is unrelated to Scorsese’s 1995 film Casino.
