Lucy Liu, Diane Lane, Jeff Daniels Star in ‘A Man in Full,' Coming to Netflix In May - Netflix Tudum
Introducing David E. Kelley’s latest emotionally gripping drama series: A Man in Full. The man who brought you the seaside malaise of Big Little Lies, the courtroom impropriety of Anatomy of a Scandal, and the hotness that is Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as The Lincoln Lawyer has adapted A Man in Full into a limited series, starring Jeff Daniels, Tom Pelphrey, Lucy Liu, and Diane Lane.
Watch the trailer above, and read on for a Full report.
What is A Man in Full about?
A Man in Full is based on The New York Times bestselling novel by the late Tom Wolfe. When 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.
Kelley is the showrunner, writer, and executive producer; King (One Night in Miami, The Harder They Fall, Watchmen, Seven Seconds) is an executive producer and director of three episodes as part of a first-look deal with Netflix via her Royal Ties Productions. Tommy Schlamme (The West Wing, Manhattan) is an executive producer and director of the other three episodes. Matthew Tinker is also an executive producer with David E. Kelley Productions.
