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.

Williams’s departure was announced in a recent episode, “Look Up Child”, which gave a satisfying send-off to one of Grey’s Anatomy fan-favorite characters. The upcoming episode titled “Tradition”, set to air on May 20, will mark his last appearance on the show.

In an official statement announcing his exit, Williams said he’ll forever be grateful for the boundless opportunities provided to the mastermind behind this show, and gave a special shout-out to fans for breathing energy and appreciation into the series. 

“The experience and endurance born of creating nearly 300 hours of leading global television is a gift I’ll carry always. I am immensely proud of our work, our impact and to be moving forward with so many tools, opportunities, allies and dear friends,” said Williams in a statement.

Williams joined Grey’s Anatomy in 2012 and branched out beyond acting in the years to come. His recent acting credits include TV shows Little Fires Everywhere and Grey’s Anatomy spin-off Station 19. He also produced several short movies and documentaries, including the Academy Award winner for the best live-action short film, titled Two Distant Strangers.
