\n\tEXCLUSIVE: Netflix<\/a> continues to round out its cast for drama series The Retrievals<\/a>, with the addition today of Fabien Frankel<\/a> (Task) and Will Harrison<\/a> (A Complete Unknown).<\/p>\n

\n\tFrankel plays Ian, the older brother and protector of Emilia Jones\u2019 lead character, Gabby Clemente. A father of three who is 10 years sober, Ian is an expert on the curveballs life can throw you. Patient but tough, he takes Gabby in and offers her unwavering support after her traumatic egg retrieval.<\/p>\n

\n\tVictor, played by Harrison, is Gabby\u2019s high school sweetheart and now husband, who grew up in a big, loving family and can\u2019t wait to have his own.<\/p>\n

\n\tFrankel and Harrison come aboard following Jessica Chastain, who we announced yesterday. Amy Ryan is also set for the show from Sirens and Maid\u2018s Molly Smith Metzler, which draws on the Peabody-winning New York Times podcast by Susan Burton.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Retrievals follows an unlikely community of IVF patients who come together to crusade against Yale University after they are operated on without anesthesia \u2014 because a nurse (Ryan) stole their fentanyl.<\/p>\n

\n\tChastain plays Kaitlyn Langford, one of the plaintiffs in a historic lawsuit against Yale.<\/p>\n

\n\tMetzler is showrunner, writer and executive producer for The Retrievals, which is produced by LuckyChap and her Quiet Coyote. Other exec producers include Dani Gorin, Tom Ackerley and Margot Robbie for LuckyChap; Colin McKenna (Maid, Sirens); Caitlin Roper for the New York Times; podcast writer Burton; and Lila Neugebauer, another alum of Maid and Sirens who will direct the pilot.<\/p>\n

\n\tFrankel is the English actor who currently stars as Ser Criston Cole in HBO\u2019s House of the Dragon and played detective Anthony Grasso in the first season of their hit crime drama Task. Upcoming, he\u2019ll be seen in Arkasha Stevenson\u2019s untitled bachelor party horror film<\/a> for A24. He is repped by Curtis Brown Group, CAA, Luber Roklin Entertainment, and Jackoway Austen Tyerman.<\/p>\n

\n\tFrom the other side of the pond, Harrison has been seen starring in the shows Daisy Jones & The Six, Murdaugh: Death in the Family and Manhunt, also appearing as folk artist Bobby Neuwirth in the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown. His upcoming slate of films includes Nicolas Curcio\u2019s horror flick Play House<\/a>, which world premieres at Fantastic Fest in a matter of days, as well as Hanna Gray Organschi\u2019s condom shop drama Rubber Hut<\/a>. He is repped by Gersh and 3 Arts Entertainment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: Netflix continues to round out its cast for drama series The Retrievals, with the addition today of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":627927,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[93,28836,61,60,1868,266701,282,215812],"class_list":["post-627926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-fabien-frankel","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-netflix","tag-the-retrievals","tag-tv","tag-will-harrison"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/627926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=627926"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/627926\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/627927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=627926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=627926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=627926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
