Netflix has revealed a new untitled television series set in the modern-day world of Las Vegas casinos, executive produced by Martin Scorsese and created by Billions co-creators Brian Koppelman and David Levien. The project marks Scorsese's return to the Vegas theme 30 years after his film Casino. It follows hotel casino president Robert 'Bobby Red' Redman navigating high-stakes challenges to maintain his power.
Announcement Details
On December 3, 2025, Netflix announced the development of a new series centered on the high-stakes environment of Las Vegas casinos. The project reunites Martin Scorsese with Koppelman and Levien, who previously collaborated with him on the short-lived HBO series Vinyl. This marks Scorsese's first major TV venture since Boardwalk Empire, which touched on gambling themes, and comes after his Netflix film The Irishman in 2019.
The series is not a sequel or direct connection to Scorsese's 1995 film Casino, which starred Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Sharon Stone and grossed $116 million. Instead, it is set in the present day and focuses on intense power struggles within the casino industry. Koppelman and Levien, known for penning Ocean's Thirteen and showrunning Billions from 2016 to 2023, bring their expertise in high-finance and gambling narratives to the show.
Plot and Production Background
The official synopsis describes the story revolving around Robert 'Bobby Red' Redman, the president of the city's premier hotel casino. Redman must execute bold strategies amid long odds to protect his position and expand his influence. No casting details, release date, or photos have been disclosed yet, though the announcement coincides with the 30th anniversary of Casino, highlighting Scorsese's enduring fascination with Vegas.
This series represents Koppelman and Levien's first showrunning effort post-Billions, the Showtime drama about legal battles in finance. Scorsese's involvement underscores Netflix's push for prestige television, building on his successful streaming partnership.
