Julia Garner (Ozark, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Inventing Anna) and Anthony Boyle (House of Guinness, Say Nothing, Masters of the Air) are set to star in The Altruists, a new eight-episode limited series about Sam Bankman-Fried and Caroline Ellison. Hudson Williams (Heated Rivalry) and Jennifer Grey (Dirty Dancing, A Real Pain, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off) have also joined the cast in recurring roles.

Graham Moore (The Imitation Game, The Outfit) and Jacqueline Hoyt (The Underground Railroad, Dietland, Leftovers) will co-showrun and executive produce the series, which tells the story of Sam Bankman-Fried and Caroline Ellison, two hyper-smart, ambitious young idealists who tried to remake the global financial system in the blink of an eye — before they were accused of stealing $8 billion and became Gen Z's own Bonnie and Clyde.

“For nearly three years now, Sam and Caroline’s story has been my daily obsession,” Moore tells Tudum. “I’m so grateful to my friends at Netflix and Higher Ground for loving this story not only as much as I do, but in the same way that I do. And we can’t wait to show all of you why.”

Additional series regulars joining Garner and Boyle in the limited series include:

• Alex Lawther (Alien Earth) as Sam Trabucco
• Matt Rife (Rolling Loud) as Ryan Salame
• Madison Hu (The Brothers Sun) as Constance Wang
• Karan Soni (Deadpool, Miracle Workers) as Nishad Singh
• Eugene Young (Veep, NCIS: Los Angeles) as Gary Wang

Executive producer and director James Ponsoldt (The Spectacular Now, Daisy Jones & The Six, Shrinking, Running Point) will direct the first episode. Vinnie Malhotra and Jessie Dicovitsky will also serve as executive producers for Higher Ground Productions, alongside Scoop Wasserstein for New York Magazine/Vox Media Studios, Tonia Davis, Lauren Morelli, and Garner. The Altruists is inspired by New York Magazine reporting.
