An upcoming Netflix series inspired by Harlan Coben's prolific Myron Bolitar book saga has found its three lead roles. Greenlit by Netflix in May, Myron Bolitar follows a basketball player with NBA dreams whose career is halted by an injury as he reinvents himself as a sports agent, getting roped into a streak of mysteries connected to his clients.
Variety reported that the Netflix series has cast its three protagonists, with the role of Myron to be played by The Continental and I Love LA star Colin Woodell.
Myron is described as "a former college basketball star whose NBA career came to an abrupt end". He then starts his own agency, MB Sports, "on an unwavering belief in overlooked athletes, with the same heart and fierce competitive drive he once brought to the court".

The loyal and charming agent is joined by his best friend and business partner, Win Lockwood, and their right hand, Esperanza Diaz.
To be played by Riverdale star KJ Apa, Lockwood's character description reads: "Born into extraordinary privilege, Win walked away from the family business to build something of his own alongside his closest friend, Myron. Unflappable, endlessly resourceful, and fiercely loyal, he’s the one Myron turns to when clients find themselves in trouble."
