Eleven-time Emmy winner David E. Kelley will serve as showrunner, writer, and producer for the series. His credits include such projects as Big Little Lies, Boston Legal, L. A. Law as well as the upcoming Netflix series The Lincoln Lawyer and Anatomy of a Scandal.

Oscar-winner Regina King will be in the directing seat (for at least the pilot episode) for A Man in Full as part of her overall deal with the streamer after just recently starring in another Netflix film called The Harder They Fall. King’s other directing credits include This is Us, Shameless, The Good Doctor, Animal Kingdom, and more.

King’s Royal Ties production company is producing along with Matthew Tinker.

What’s the plot of A Man in Full?

As mentioned above, A Man in Full is an adaptation of Tom Wolfe’s 1998 bestseller novel of the same name. Here’s the book description of A Man in Full from Amazon:

Charlie Coker is the main protagonist and is described as having “lots of pride and charisma”. We’re told that Netflix is aiming high for the role with the likes of Brad Pill, Woody Harrelson, George Clooney, and Gary Oldman originally being considered for the role.

Who is cast in A Man in Full?

In April 2022, we got word that Jeff Daniels would be taking on the role of the aforementioned Charlie Coker role.

The two-time Primetime Emmy winner is perhaps best known for his role in HBO’s The Newsroom but also featured in the Netflix Original limited series Godless. Those in the US can also see Daniels in The Comey Rule which was added to Netflix last year.

What’s the production status of A Man in Full?

The limited series is due to be in production in 2022.

Filming on the new series is expected to start on May 15th, 2022, and run through to September 2022.

All filming for the limited series will be taking place in Atlanta, Georgia.

How many episodes will be in A Man in Full?

It has been confirmed that Netflix’s A Man in Full will feature six hour-long episodes.

What’s the Netflix release date for A Man in Full?

Netflix hasn’t set a release date for A Man in Full, but considering a possible 2022 production start, we should probably expect the series to come out on the streamer sometime in 2023.
