Vaughn plays Frank Semyon, a career criminal in danger of losing his empire when his move into legitimate enterprise is upended by the murder of a business partner; McAdams will play Ani Bezzerides, a Ventura County Sheriff’s detective whose uncompromising ethics put her at odds with others and the system she serves;

The ten-episode season explores the sun-soaked world of a group of past and present football players in Miami, FL. Though they’re pros when it comes to playing the game, each has a harder time navigating life off the field.

His inner circle includes a talented but volatile wide receiver Ricky (John David Washington), who seeks to balance his off-field antics with his passion for the game; Charles (Omar Miller), a reluctantly retired lineman who’s finding it hard to adjust to civilian life; and rookie sensation Vernon (Donovan Carter), whose promise never to for get “where he came from” brings scores of hangers-on into his life, and lands him in big financial trouble.

Created and executive produced by Steve Levinson (HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, Entourage); executive produced by Mark Wahlberg, Peter Berg, Dany Garcia, Julian Farino, Evan Reilly and Rob Weiss.

Beginning its ten-episode season at 22:30 AST, this epic dark comedy focuses on a geopolitical crisis and its effect on three disparate, desperate men: US Secretary of State Walter Larson (Robbins); Alex Talbot (Black), a lowly Foreign Service officer stationed in Islamabad; and Zeke “Z-Pak” Tilson (Pablo Schreiber), an ace Navy fighter pilot with a lucrative side business dealing prescription drugs.

Also starring Aasif Mandvi, Maribeth Monroe, Eric Ladin, Esai Morales and Geoff Pierson; executive produced by Jerry Weintraub, Roberto Benabib and Jay Roach.
