EXCLUSIVE: Arian Moayed (Succession, Nobody Wants This), Story Walker (First Ladies, Conviction), Adepero Oduye (Eric, Five Days at Memorial), and Liam Oh (99’ers, Boots) have joined the cast of Netflix‘s The Retrievals.
They join the previously announced Emilia Jones, Jessica Chastain, Amy Ryan, Fabien Frankel, and Will Harrison.
Inspired by the Peabody Award-winning New York Times podcast by Susan Burton, The Retrievals follows an unlikely community of IVF patients who come together to crusade against Yale University after they are operated on without anesthesia–because a nurse stole their fentanyl. The Retrievals is a powerful call to justice and a surprisingly moving story of friendship and perseverance.
Moayed will play Amir, Kaitlyn’s (Chastain) husband and biggest champion throughout their harrowing experience with IVF at Yale.

Walker will play Bella, Ian’s (Frankel) teenage daughter who becomes Gabby’s (Jones) impromptu roommate, beauty consultant, and confidante.
Oduye will play Nurse Sam, a registered nurse who has worked at the Yale Fertility Clinic for over a decade. As a close friend of Carla Russo (Ryan), Sam was blindsided by Carla’s arrest (and drug addiction).
Oh will play a fellow student-teacher at Gabby’s elementary school who proves to be a true friend to Gabby.
