Dan Stevens stars as “David Haller.” His whole life, David believed he was schizophrenic and struggled to maintain his sanity. All that changed when he met the girl of his dreams. With her help, David realized that he is a powerful mutant. He managed to win an epic battle for control of his mind, only to realize that the root of his problems lay much deeper. Now, David finds himself violently at odds with those he once called friends. In order to truly repair the damage he has wrought, he must journey further into the recesses of himself than ever before.

Aubrey Plaza portrays David’s friend “Lenny Busker.” Despite a life of drugs and alcohol abuse, David’s friend Lenny knows that any day now her life is going to turn around, which gives her the likable energy of the impossible optimist. In her newfound position as David’s right hand man, Lenny is pulled between her pursuit of personal happiness and the execution of David’s plans.

Bill Irwin plays the brilliant geneticist “Cary Loudermilk,” who is Kerry’s counterweight; a scalpel to her hammer. Quiet and reserved, he’s often mistaken as shy.

Navid Negahban portrays “Amahl Farouk,” the villain with a thousand faces, aka the Shadow King. He is an ancient mutant who resided in David’s mind for 30 years.

This burden has only increased upon the upload of Ptonomy’s consciousness into Division 3’s computer system. His abilities have been magnified tremendously, but has that come at the cost of his humanity?

Amber Midthunder stars as “Kerry Loudermilk,” a mover and doer who is the kind of person that’s never satisfied with a green pasture. There’s nothing she loves more than a good fight… except maybe Cary, the one person with whom she is truly close.
