Chloe Fineman lands her next major role faster than most cast members exit Saturday Night Live. The comedian joins Netflix's adaptation of Harlan Coben's "Myron Bolitar" as a series regular, just days after announcing her departure from NBC's long-running sketch show.
Fineman stars alongside Jabari Banks, who leads the project following his stint on Peacock's "Bel-Air" reboot. Jamie McShane, known for "The Outsider" and Netflix's "Wednesday," rounds out the ensemble in another series regular slot.
