Martin Scorsese is set to release a new Netflix series titled The Roman, which draws heavily from his classic 1995 film Casino. The series stars Oscar Isaac as a Las Vegas casino operator, navigating the complexities of the gambling industry and rival players. Alongside Isaac, the cast includes prominent actors such as Alec Baldwin, Betty Gilpin, and David Costabile. While the character of Bobby Red, played by Isaac, appears to operate a legitimate casino, parallels can be drawn to the character of Sam “Ace” Rothstein from Casino, suggesting a storyline rich in themes of greed and power struggles. The series is being created by Brian Koppelman and David Levien, who are known for their work on Billions and Ocean’s Thirteen, and it is expected to be released in late 2027 or 2028. This project is seen as a continuation of Scorsese's exploration of the organized crime genre, completing an unofficial trilogy that began with Casino and continued with The Card Counter, which also starred Isaac.
