Hoeks most recently starred in “Blade Runner 2049” and is slated to appear in “The Girl in the Spider’s Web.” She perhaps best known for her work in European television, however, having appeared in shows such as “Overspell” and “Bloedverwanten.”

Meanwhile, Madekwe most recently starred in a 2018 miniseries version of “Les Misérables” and the British comedy movie “Legacy.” Both Madekwe and Hoeks join previously announced cast members Jason Momoa, Alfre Woodard, Yadira Guevara-Prip, and Nesta Cooper.

Details on “See” are unclear at this point, though it has been described as “an epic, world-building drama set in the future.” The first season ordered by Apple is said to be 8 episodes in length.

Sometimes people don’t think it’s needed, they have trouble setting it up, or maybe just don’t want another system to deal with for their child.
