Sin City is waiting.
A new eight-episode Netflix series will explore the high-stakes world of Las Vegas casinos. The series hails from showrunners/executive producers/writers Brian Koppelman and David Levien (Billions, Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber).
The creative team behind the currently untitled series is no stranger to the world of gambling. Koppelman and Levien made their screenwriting debut with cult poker thriller Rounders, and later wrote the Vegas–set heist thriller Ocean’s Thirteen.
The pedigree doesn’t stop there: The series will be executive produced by legendary American filmmaker Martin Scorsese, who explored the canyons of Las Vegas in his seminal classic Casino. Scorsese also executive produced HBO’s hit gambling drama Boardwalk Empire, set in the East Coast’s Las Vegas, Atlantic City.
Read on for more information.
The hourlong drama is set in the high-stakes, sharp-elbowed present-day Las Vegas casino business, which is a modernized but still dangerous version of the legendary city. At the center of which stands Robert “Bobby Red” Redman, president of the hottest hotel casino in town, who has to make some long odds moves to try and secure his position and take more ground.
There’s no word yet, but stay tuned.
Brian Koppelman and David Levien serve as writers, showrunners, and executive producers. Other executive producers include Martin Scorsese and Sikelia Productions, Julie Yorn and Rick Yorn for Expanded Media, Paul Schiff, Beth Schacter, and co-executive producer Kerry Orent.
