Oscar Isaac is set to star in a new Netflix series produced by Martin Scorsese, focusing on the high-stakes world of Las Vegas casinos. The series, ordered by Netflix last December, will feature Isaac as Robert
'Bobby Red' Redman, the president of a leading hotel casino. The show will explore the competitive and dangerous environment of modern-day Las Vegas.
