Along with Farrell, Sugar also stars Kirby, Amy Ryan, Dennis Boutsikaris, Nate Corddry, Alex Hernandez, and James Cromwell. Now, three more are joining the drama as series regulars, according to Deadline.
Shea Whigham
Shea Whigham, who can most recently be seen in the Netflix series American Primeval, has been cast in what is believed to be a government agency employee helping John Sugar in his investigations. The actor can also be seen in Lawmen: Bass Reeves, The Righteous Gemstones, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, The Gray Man, Waco, and Fargo, among others.

Along with the NBC reboot, Lee also appeared in Kevin Can F**k Himself, Top Gun: Maverick, Made for Love, The Lost City, Prodigal Son, Magnum P.I., Scandal, and Modern Family, just to name a few. He can also soon be seen in the upcoming horror film Deepest, Darkest with Rosario Dawson, Ernie Hudson, Rahul Kohli, and Phil LaMarr.
Sasha Calle
Last but certainly not least, it is believed that Sasha Calle will be playing a hustler working for Sugar. Calle recently most notably played Kara Zor-El/Supergirl in 2023’s The Flash.
