John Slattery (Mad Men), Jessica Henwick (Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery) and Ellen Robertson (Mickey 17) have joined Netflix‘s limited series Vladimir as series regulars, with Kayli Carter (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Miriam Silverman (Your Friends and Neighbors), Mallori Johnson (Is God Is), Matt Walsh (Veep), Tattiawna Jones (Murderbot), and Louise Lambert (Chucky) boarding as recurring.
Slattery will play John, with Henwick as Cynthia, Robertson as Sid, Carter as Lila, Silverman as Florence, Johnson as Edwina, Walsh as David, Jones as Alexis, and Lambert as Dawn. As previously announced, Rachel Weisz will star in and exec produce the series, based on Julia May Jonas’s novel, with Leo Woodall playing the title role.
As a woman’s life unravels in this eight-episode series — created, written and exec produced by Jonas — she becomes obsessed with her captivating new colleague. Full of sexy secrets, dark humor and complex characters, Vladimir is about what happens when a woman goes hell-bent to turn her fantasies into reality.
