Cole will play Gordon Novel, a private investigator.
The five-part series is now a follow-up to the 2018 miniseries Waco. It depicted the 51-day standoff in Waco, Texas in 1993 between the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), and David Koresh’s religious faction, the Branch Davidians. It caused a fatal fire.

The sequel depicts both the aftermath and ramifications of the siege. This includes the trials of the Branch Davidians’ surviving members.
According to the miniseries’ synopsis. “Five-part drama series depicting the searing aftermath of the disastrous FBI standoff at the Branch Davidian compound in 1993 – an event that galvanized American militia movements and helped radicalize Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols, and many others,” it says.
Michael Shannon, who starred in Bullet Train, will play FBI hostage negotiator Gary Noesner in the series. John Leguizamo plays undercover ATF agent Jacob Vasquez, and David Costabile plays Judge Smith, who preside over the Branch Davidians’ trial.
Succession actress J. Smith-Cameron will also appear in the series as Lois Roden, the religious faction’s leader and Prophetess. Waco: The Aftermath premieres on Showtime on April 16 at 10 p.m. Eastern, 9 p.m. Central.
