EXCLUSIVE: Sugar, starring and executive produced by Colin Farrell, has added three new series regulars for next season: Jin Ha (Pachinko, Civil War), Laura Donnelly (The Nevers, Say Nothing), Tony Dalton (Better Call Saul, Hawkeye)
Ha is one of the stars of Apple TV+‘s historical drama Pachinko, which is still on the bubble, awaiting word on a Season 3 renewal. His casting in Sugar would not impact Pachinko; he would be able to do both.
I hear Ha will be playing a boxer who frequently gets caught up with the wrong crowds. Donnelly is believed to be playing a woman who is immune to Sugar’s (Farrell) charms; Dalton would play a Lieutenant in the LA County Sheriff’s Department.
Created by Mark Protosevich, Sugar is a contemporary, unique take on one of the most popular and significant genres in literary, motion picture, and television history: the private detective story. In addition to Farrell, the ensemble cast for the first season included Kirby, Amy Ryan, James Cromwell, Anna Gunn, Dennis Boutsikaris, Nate Corddry, Sydney Chandler, and Alex Hernandez.
Season 2 of Sugar is showrun by Sam Catlin, who also executive produces under his Short Drive Entertainment banner. Audrey Chon and Simon Kinberg executive produce for Genre Films under Kinberg’s first look deal with Apple TV+. Farrell, Scott Greenberg, Chip Vucelich, Christopher Rogers, and Gary Tieche also serve as executive producers. Claudine Farrell co-executive produces.
Donnelly is repped by CAA, Jonathan Arun Group, and Telescope Agency. Ha is repped by CAA and Suskin Karshan Management. Dalton is repped by Gilbertson Entertainment, Gersh, and Yorn, Levine, Barnes.
