In this HBO Max series, what we have is an inside view. You will find a series with a large cast who have unique roles on set and, who could play even bigger parts in future episodes!
Let's take a deep dive into each character:
- Daniel- Himesh Patel is in the spot of First Assistant Director! He is also one of those figures who is super busy! He needs to keep all the big actors under control. It's also about keeping all the filming schedules as organized as possible.
- Anita - The legendary "Cash" is one of the super talented stars playing a part of production that is essential, which is keeping everyone moving towards the goal line and as they are making the movie! She has to work closely with actors, executives and everyone else. There are always people with new ideas!
- Adam, one of the main stars in "The Franchise" and played by "Billy Magnussen," this is a character that isn't just the one being a super star, it is also his craziness that helps drive the whole show forward.
- Eric is also another important player in The Franchise as he is played by the amazing actor "Daniel Brühl"! Brühl brings some awesome talent, and that includes his own big screen superhero appearances!
- Brühl had his own starring roles! The most recent being "Helmut Zemo" (in Captain America: Civil War, a popular comic book adaptation).
Brühl, brings some humor and crazy chaos as the eccentric director of "Tecto."
- Peter- We are used to Richard E. Grant's talents, as the very talented actor, who had some fantastic roles in "Logan." (playing Zander Rice in this X-Men movie) or his role as Classic Loki in "Loki,", a Marvel series on Disney+!
- Steph- We are about to get more comedic moments as she is played by the amazing actor Jessica Hynes. It's quite an interesting, hilarious role, as she makes her debut in this series. Hynes is known for a number of roles including a British sitcom called "Spaced!"
- Dag- Lolly Adefope plays the second AD. She really brings something very interesting as she keeps everyone in check and calm, and while things might get insane and crazy around Dag is ready!
- Pat as the studio executive who has a key part, it will be intriguing for fans to see his power play. This part is played by "Darren Goldstein" and in this HBO series it turns out he is not only in charge. There's something else he needs to focus on - being there to keep everyone from going too wild on the set. He even makes sure that studio decisions make it to the big-screen!
- Bryson, the super smart, insightful player played by Isaac Cole Powell. He really acts as the eyes and ears for a person above them. It's interesting too! He's in touch with the big boss.
- Rufus is played by Justin Edwards and you won't be surprised how a production can go. It seems, Rufus keeps it all together, with a focus on all the behind-the-scenes activities.
She's definitely got what it takes to help "The Franchise" continue with a hilarious look into this fast-paced environment and with lots of those fast-paced comedic lines and even an appearance on "W1A," a BBC comedy!
