Jesse Williams has been cast to star opposite the previously announced series leads Aubrey Plaza and Ramón Rodríguez in the drama. Olga Dies Dreaming which was ordered to pilot at the streamer back in April is based on the yet-to-be-released novel of the same name by Xóchitl Gonzalez.

The drama centers on a Nuyorican brother and sister (Rodriguez and Plaza) from a gentrifying Sunset Park, Brooklyn, reckoning with their absent, politically radical mother and their glittering careers among New York City’s elite in the wake of Hurricane Maria.

Variety reports that Williams will play Matteo Jones, a collector of music, objects, trivia, and mainly, of opinions. He would come across as a know it all if, in fact, he wasn’t so genuinely curious about everything. Matteo is keenly aware of people’s inclination to put everyone and everything into neat little boxes and he firmly refuses to conform.

Olga Dies Dreaming will be Williams first TV project since he derpated Grey’s Anatomy.
