AT&T AUDIENCE Network, Entertainment One and Fuqua Films Announce Cast for New Original Series "ICE"

New Cast to Include Cam Gigandet, Jeremy Sisto, Ray Winstone, Judith Shekoni, Raymond Barry and Donald Sutherland

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Aug. 15, 2016 -- AT&T* AUDIENCE Network today announced the cast for its new original series, "ICE" from global independent studio Entertainment One (eOne) and Antoine Fuqua's Fuqua Films.

Ten hour-long episodes are currently in production in Vancouver. They will air in 2016 exclusively on both DIRECTV and AT&T U-verse.

Joining the "ICE" cast are Cam Gigandet ("The Magnificent Seven," "The Twilight Saga" franchise), Jeremy Sisto ("Law and Order," "Suburgatory"), Ray Winstone ("The Departed"), Judith Shekoni ("Heroes Reborn," "The Twilight Saga" franchise) Raymond Barry ("Training Day"), and Donald Sutherland ("The Hunger Games" franchise).

"ICE" is a high-impact, serialized crime drama that follows the Green Family, as they plunge into the underbelly of the Los Angeles diamond trade. Jake (Gigandet) and Freddy (Sisto) are half-brothers brought together by their father Isaac (Barry), the patriarch behind G&G Diamonds and their uncle Cam (Winstone). After wildcard Freddy kills a prominent diamond dealer, his brother Jake must bail him out and save the family business from a crime lord of the Los Angeles diamond trade (Shekoni). Jake must endure all of this while maneuvering amongst jewelry thugs, blood diamond deals, false certificates, the Feds, and Pieter Van De Bruin (Sutherland), a ruthless Afrikaanz diamond merchant who now heads up an Antwerp-based diamond cartel with the same cutthroat skills he applied as a surgeon in the South African armed forces.

Antoine Fuqua ("The Magnificent Seven," "The Equalizer," "Training Day") is directing the first episode and serves as executive producer. The original series is written and executive produced by Robert Munic ("Fighting," "The Cleaner"). eOne produces the show in association with AT&T and also controls international rights to the series.

"ICE" builds on AT&T's relationship with eOne, which serves as the studio on AUDIENCE Network's dynamic series "YOU ME HER" and "ROGUE".

AUDIENCE Network offers a compelling lineup of original, provocative content. Its growing slate of critically acclaimed original series includes:

MMA drama "KINGDOM," starring Frank Grillo and Nick Jonas

"Poly-romantic" comedy "YOU ME HER" starring Greg Poehler, Rachel Blanchard and Priscilla Faia
