Raycole plays Izzy, "Mickey's client, a young former addict charged with grand larceny for stealing a necklace to support her habit"; and Sampson is Cisco, "a former biker gang member who now serves as Mickey's investigator, friend, and when necessary, bodyguard."

WHO KILLED TULUM? (Amazon, New!) - Mehar Sethi is developing a new drama at Amazon Studios about "a spoiled Mexican party-boy and a high-strung American woman who each seek a new life in the burgeoning resort town of Tulum circa 2007, a paradoxical paradise where extravagance has an ethos and glamour has a dark side." The project is based on Reeves Wiedeman's New York Magazine article of the same name with Scoop Wasserstein and Annapurna Television's Megan Ellison and Sue Naegle also executive producing. Wiedeman will serve as a co-executive producer alongside Chad Mumm of Vox Media Studios. (Deadline.com)
