  "textContent": "Netflix’s new crime thriller  _Nemesis_ is quickly generating buzz thanks to its high-stakes robberies, tense cat-and-mouse rivalry and a cast packed with familiar faces from hit shows including  _Insecure_ ,  _Abbott Elementary_ ,  _The Wire_ and  _Ahsoka_.\n\nCreated by  _Power_ mastermind Courtney A. Kemp, the eight-episode drama follows a relentless LAPD detective obsessed with taking down an elusive master thief, setting the stage for a high-stakes battle between two men whose lives appear more connected than they first realise.

Viewers may recognise him from  _Abbott Elementary_ ,  _Ahsoka_ ,  _Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D._ and  _The Oval_.\n\n**Y’lan Noel as Coltrane Wilder**\nNoel stars opposite Law as Wilder, a polished businessman hiding a dangerous second life.

Fans may know her from  _A Black Lady Sketch Show_ ,  _Luke Cage_ and  _Insecure_.\n\n**Cleopatra Coleman as Ebony Wilder**\nColeman portrays Wilder’s wife and occasional accomplice, balancing luxury real estate with criminal secrets.
