Ryan Murphy has revealed the rest of the main cast of Netflix's Ratched, aka The Ratched Principal Players in an Instagram post. The series which has a 2-season, 18-episode order at Netflix will begin filming in a few weeks.
Ratched begins in 1947 and follows Ratched (Paulson)'s journey and evolution from nurse into the full-fledged monster we know from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The series will track her murderous progression through the mental health care system.
Charlie Carver (Teen Wolf), Judy Davis (Feud: Bette and Joan), Harriet Harris (Frasier, Desperate Housewives), Cynthia Nixon (Sex and the City), Hunter Parrish (Weeds, Quantico), Amanda Plummer (Pulp Fiction), Corey Stoll (The Strain, House of Cards) and Sharon Stone (Basic Instinct) round out the series regular cast. Finn Wittrock (American Horror Story) and Jon Jon Briones (The Assassination of Gianni Versace) were previously announced to join Sarah Paulson in the Netflix series.
"RATCHED" on Netflix starts shooting in a couple weeks. On behalf of myself and Ms. Sarah Catharine Paulson who plays the title role and is also a big fancy producer on it, we are thrilled to announce our amazing cast...a true murderers’ row of talent. So many of these actors are supremely talented folks who Sarah and I have both longed to work with. The Ratched Principal Players, in alphabetical order: JON JON BRIONES, CHARLIE CARVER, JUDY DAVIS, HARRIET HARRIS, CYNTHIA NIXON, HUNTER PARRISH, AMANDA PLUMMER, COREY STOLL, SHARON STONE AND FINN WITTROCK. More to come, but come on...Sarah, Cynthia, Judy, Amanda and Sharon, all doing scenes together? I cannot WAIT.
Ryan Murphy just announced 10 actors who will join Sarah Paulson in "Ratched" — Jon Jon Briones, Charlie Carver, Judy Davis, Harriet Harris, Cynthia Nixon, Hunter Parrish, Amanda Plummer, Corey Stoll, Sharon Stone, and Finn Wittrock! https://t.co/6K1LfQdaLO pic.twitter.com/GmTWx9dkCN
