Other recurring cast members will be Cornet, along with Matthias Hues (Dark Angel), Natalie Denise Sperl (Mank), and actress/supermodel Anna Oris among others.
Eric Brenner (Crazy Heart) will exec produce, with a score by Sean Murray (Call of Duty: Black Ops) will create a musical score, action and stunt sequences once again by Art Camacho (Half Past Dead), and Sam Wilkinson (Paydirt) returning again as Director of Photography.
