EXCLUSIVE: Max Irons (Condor, Miss Austen), André De Shields (The Instigators, Ain’t Misbehavin‘) and Marc Menchaca (Ozark, The Big Cigar) are set for key recurring roles opposite Callum Turner and Briana Middleton in Neuromancer, Apple TV+‘s 10-episode drama series based on the award-winning novel of the same name by William Gibson.

Created for television by Graham Roland and JD Dillard, Neuromancer follows a damaged, top-rung super-hacker named Case (Turner) who is thrust into a web of digital espionage and high-stakes crime with his partner Molly (Middleton), a razor-girl assassin with mirrored eyes, aiming to pull a heist on a corporate dynasty with untold secrets.
