Storyline
Charming, fast talking Marty Kaan and his crack team of management consultants know how to play the corporate game better than anyone, by using every dirty trick in the book to woo powerful CEOs and close huge deals. In the board rooms, barrooms, and bedrooms of the power elite, corruption is business as usual and everyone's out for themselves first.

If you spotted her famous last name, then you might’ve correctly guessed that, yes, Maude Apatow is the daughter of producer and filmmaker Judd Apatow and actress Leslie Mann. The 22-year-old is part of Euphoria’s cast of rebellious teens as Lexi Howard, but in Hollywood, she’s Henrietta Castello, Jack’s wife struggling to support her husband’s dream while preparing for a baby on the way. The daughter of studio heads Ace and Avis Amberg, Claire Wood’s story as the spawn of entertainment greats is a common one. She’s portrayed by rising star Samara Weaving, the Australian actress recently seen in Ready or Not, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, and The Babysitter.
'House of Lies' Books Newcomer for Recurring Role (Exclusive)
Charming, fast-talking Marty Kaan and his crack team of management consultants use every dirty trick in the book to woo powerful CEOs and close huge deals in this scathing, irreverent satire... In addition to the questionable business practices of Marty and his team, the series also focuses on Marty's personal life. He deals with his disagreeable management consultant ex-wife Monica, his retired-psychiatrist father Jeremiah and his confidently flamboyant son Roscoe. The main character, Marty, often breaks the fourth wall; he talks to the viewers in a freeze-frame bit in which he alone moves and the others in the background 'freeze' but continue where they left off. Alternatively, he talks to the audience while everyone moves but the others seem oblivious to the fact that he is on a monologue. Ryan Murphy's new Netflix series Hollywood, premiering May 1, promises to be an exciting retelling of the story we think we know about the Golden Age of cinema.

The first season of the Showtime series House of Lies premiered on January 8th, 2012. Some of Mike O'Gorman’s past credits include Vice Principals, Inside Amy Schumer, guest spots on AP Bio, Detroiter and Perry Mason, as well as a recurring bit as Donald Trump on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Steve Howey is probably best known from his time as Kevin on the Showtime series Shameless, though some of his other credits include Reba, Bride Wars, Stuber and Day Shift. Jeremy Pope got his start on Broadway with two Tony nominations in one year (for Choir Boy and Ain't Too Proud). On Hollywood, he plays Archie Coleman, a screenwriter who knows what he's up against, but is determined to be one of the first successful black (and gay) writers in the industry. Murphy plucked another star from the stage to portray Dick Samuels, an Ace Studios exec struggling to reconcile doing what's right versus following the industry status quo.
A couple of recognizable names are also set to appear in True Lies in guest roles. Annabella Didion's biggest credits to date have come on Netflix projects, including a guest role on the hit series Outer Banks and appearing in the 2023 original movie Dog Gone. So who is taking on these roles made famous by Schwarzenegger and Curtis? And who is set to make up the supporting cast of characters on the show? Keeping viewers on their toes, the series continues in its nontraditional storytelling fashion.
Don Cheadle portrays the character of Marty Kaan, the talented and charismatic management consultant who is the focal point of the series. Marty is a smooth-talking, highly intelligent individual who uses his skills to navigate the world of corporate business. The actor who plays him, David Corenswet, has appeared in Ryan Murphy’s The Politician.
The cast of True Lies, the CBS series that is an adaptation of the 1994 James Cameron action movie of the same name, has some big shoes to fill, quite literally in at least one sense. Between Jon Cryer's history and Don Cheadle's nom (he's the first black actor nominated here since Bernie Mac in 2003), a fresh spoiler seems likely. "We’re all in recovery mode in the beginning of season three," co-star Kristen Bell tells THR of the upcoming season.
