MGM+ Cast Announcement For Hotel Cocaine From EP Chris Brancato and Guillermo Navarro
MGM+ has announced additional casting for its upcoming television series Hotel Cocaine, a project spearheaded by Chris Brancato (Godfather of Harlem, Narcos) and Guillermo Navarro (Pan's Labyrinth). The MGM+ Studios eight-episode series, produced in partnership with MGM Television, introduced (last year) an impressive ensemble cast, each of whom has successfully performed in crime thrillers, adding to the attraction and excitement of this new series.
Hotel Cocaine is the story of Roman Compte, a Cuban exile, CIA operative, and general manager of the Mutiny Hotel, the glamorous epicenter of the Miami cocaine scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s. The Mutiny Hotel was Casablanca on cocaine, a glitzy nightclub, restaurant, and hotel frequented by Florida Businessmen and Politicians, international narcos, CIA and FBI agents, models, sports stars, and musicians. At the center of it all was Compte, who was doing his best to keep it all going to fulfill his own American Dream.
Previously announced cast members are Danny Pino (Mayans M.C., Law & Order: SVU, Cold Case) as Roman Compte, Michael Chiklis (The Shield, Winning Time) as Agent Zulio, Mark Feuerstein (Power Book II: Ghost, Prison Break) as Burton Greenberg, and Yul Vazquez (Severance, Godfather of Harlem) as Nestor Cabal. New series regulars announced today are Tania Watson (The Head) as Marisol, Corina Bradley (Star-Crossed Romance) as Valeria, and Laura Gordon (Late Night with the Devil) as Janice Nichols.
New recurring and guest casting includes Mayra Hermosillo (Narcos: Mexico), Juan Pablo Raba (Narcos, Six), Erniel Baez (Reacher), Nick Barkla (Blind Company, Em 4 Jay), Cale Ambrozic, Camila Valero (Pacto de Silencio, Mala Fortuna), Maggie Lacey (Julia, American Animals, New Amsterdam), John Ventimiglia (Gaslit, Jessica Jones), and Larry Powell (White Men Can’t Jump, The Browsing Effect).
Series creator Chris Brancato serves as showrunner and executive producer, and Guillermo Navarro, who co-executive produces along with Brancato, directed the pilot episode. Michael Panes and Alfredo Barrios Jr. are also executive producers of the show. The series resumed filming in the Dominican Republic this month and is expected to premiere sometime this summer.
