"Waco: The Aftermath" will feature several cast members from the original series, and it will also bring in several new faces. Michael Shannon is back as FBI hostage negotiator Gary Noesner, and Shea Whigam will return as FBI Special Agent Mitch Decker, who was depicted as partially responsible for bungling the Waco standoff. John Leguizamo is returning as Jacob Vasquez, the FBI agent sent into the Waco compound to gather evidence, and Annika Marks will reprise her role as Kathy Schroeder, a Branch Davidian who has to testify at the trial.
As for newcomers, Giovanni Ribisi of "Avatar" and "Sneaky Pete" will play the Branch Davidians' defense attorney, Dan Codgdell. He'll be joined by Gary Cole of "Office Space" as private investigator Gordon Novell. You can also expect to see J. Smith-Cameron of "Succession" fame as Branch Davidian leader Lois Roden. And while Taylor Kitsch isn't coming back, the part of David Koresh will be played by Keean Johnson ("Alita: Battle Angel") in flashbacks.
Alex Breaux of "See" will be playing terrorist Timothy McVeigh, and Abbey Lee of "Mad Max: Fury Road" will portray Carol Howe, a woman who becomes a government informant. Rounding out the cast, we've got Michael Cassidy ("The O.C."), Sasheer Zamata ("Saturday Night Live"), John Hoogenakker ("Chicago Fire"), Nicholas Kolev ("NCIS: Los Angeles"), Michael Luwoye ("Hamilton"), Kali Rocha ("Liv and Maddie"), and Michael Vincent Barry ("Better Call Saul").
