Gabrielle Dennis (The Big Door Prize) and Michael Potts (The Piano Lesson) have joined the cast of Nemesis, a crime drama created by Courtney A. Kemp ("Power" Universe) and Tani Marole described as an action heist series in the vein of Power set in LA where the new series will film.
In series regular roles, Dennis will play 'Candace Stiles' and Potts will play 'James Sealey.'
They join the previously announced cast of Matthew Law, Y'Ian Noel, Cleopatra Coleman, Tre Hale, Domenick Lombardozzi, Jonnie Park and Ariana Guerra.
Nemesis is the story of two men on either side of the law, the tale of what happens when an unstoppable force (an expert criminal), Coltrane Wilder (Noel), meets an immovable object (a brilliant police detective), Isaiah Stiles (Law). What starts as a series that aims to subvert the heist genre at every turn, amped with thrilling life-or-death stakes, family dynamics and explosive action, actually gives birth to an exploration of what drives us, sustains us, and ultimately destroys us.
In her first project with Netflix, Kemp serves as showrunner on Nemesis, which she is executive producing with Marole, Chris Selak of Kemp's End of Episode and Philipp Barnett. Mario Van Peebles (Power Book III: Raising Kanan) will direct and executive produce Episodes 1 and 2.
Dennis most recently starred in the Apple TV+ comedy The Big Door Prize for two seasons opposite Chris O'Dowd, Damon Gupta and Josh Segarra and Netflix's The Upshaws in the fourth season of the hit comedy opposite Wanda Sykes, Kim Fields and Mike Epps. Additional TV credits include HBO's A Black Lady Sketch Show, CBS' S.W.A.T., Marvel's Luke Cage and HBO's Insecure with film credits in One of Them Days, A Madea Homecoming and Girls Trip. She is repped by Gersh.
Potts is best known for his portrayal of 'Brother Mouzone' in the hit drama series The Wire and Detective Maynard Gilbough in True Detective, both from HBO. He has also had notable roles on the big screen in The Piano Lesson, Rustin, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. His theater credits include the 1985 production of Fences starring James Earl Jones and Courtney B. Vance and The Book of Mormon. He is repped by Artists and Representatives and Tony Cloer.
