Bohan Phoenix, Michelle Jones Lee and Keith Leung have joined the cast of “Superfakes,” a crime drama from Peacock and A24, created by “Beef” writer Alice Ju and produced by the Safdie brothers.
Lucy Liu (“Kill Bill,” “Charlie’s Angels”) stars in the series as a “small-time Chinatown luxury counterfeit dealer who enters a dangerous black-market underworld in order to fund a life of suburban respectability for her family,” per the logline. “Industry” star Ken Leung will play her husband.
“Superfakes” is executive produced by Josh Safdie and Benny Safdie; Howard Klein and Olivia Gerke for 3 Arts; Ronald Bronstein, Eli Bush and Liu. The series hails from Emmy-winner Ju, whose writing and producing credits include “Beef” and “Poker Face.” A24 and UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, also produce.
