Hyde, formerly the largest shark in the shark tank, is now displaying some compassion - perhaps too much. Hyde, the proprietor of a gambling club, is the type of man whose name is synonymous with terror. One minute he is pleased by someone, the next he is a brutal enforcer.
Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden are confirmed to direct the first four episodes. Brubaker will co-showrun with crime fiction author Jordan Harper. Brubaker and Harper EP alongside Sean Phillips, Sarah Carbiener and Philipp Barnett.
Legendary Television will also serve as an executive producer. The series is produced by Amazon MGM Studios. Hawkes can presently be seen in the fourth season of Issa Lopez's True Detective, which also stars Jodie Foster. In addition to acting, he penned and performed an original song on the show.

Hawkes received Best Actor at the Independent Spirit Awards for his depiction of real-life poet Mark O'Brien' in The Sessions, and he was nominated for a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award.
