The Artist is headed to The Network this spring, and four have been added to its cast. Seven episodes are being produced for the limited series, which will premiere in March 2025.
According to Deadline, Zachary Quinto, Patti LuPone, Hank Azaria, and Clark Gregg are joining the previously cast Mandy Patinkin, Janet McTeer and Danny Huston. The series is set in the end of the Gilded Age as a group arrives at the home of an ailing tycoon (Patinkin) which ends in his untimely death.
The following was revealed about the roles the new additions will play:
“Quinto will play Delphin Delmas, a white shoe lawyer from San Francisco.
LuPone portrays Rosie Morsch, Marian Henry’s (McTeer) mercurial and disapproving sister. Brought even closer by the death of their parents at an early age, Rosie’s love for Marian is only outpaced by her disdain for Norman Henry (Patinkin).
Azaria will play Thomas Edison. The esteemed inventor, Mr. Edison visits Norman Henry (Patinkin) to pitch his latest technological device.
Gregg portrays Harry Kendall Thaw, the spoiled son of an American coal and railroad baron.”
The premiere date for The Artist will be announced later.
