The Altruits is coming.

The Netflix eight-episode TV series debuts on November 19 on the streamer, and the first look photos just arrived on Thursday (August 13).
Who Stars in The Altruists?
Here’s the official logline: “The story of Sam Bankman-Fried and Caroline Ellison, two hyper-smart, ambitious young idealists who tried to remake the global financial system in the blink of an eye – before they were accused of stealing $8 billion and became Gen Z’s own Bonnie & Clyde.”
Series regulars include Julia Garner (Caroline Ellison), Anthony Boyle (Sam Bankman-Fried), Alex Lawther (Sam Trabucco), Karan Soni (Nishad Singh), Naomi Okada (Claire Watanabe), Madison Hu (Constance Wang), Matt Rife (Ryan Salame), and Eugene Young (Gary Wang).
Additional cast includes Paul Reiser (Joe Bankman), Robin Weigert (Barbara Fried), Maddie Hasson (Lauren Remington Platt), Marianna Phung (Lily Zhang), Jennifer Grey (Sara Fisher Ellison), Terry Chen (CZ), William Mapother (Dr. George Lerner), Jack Greenlees (Will MacAskill), Hudson Williams (Duncan Rheingans-Yoo), Elizabeth Adams (Hannah Miller), Hannah Galway (Lucy), Donald Heng (Hot Steve), David James Lewis (Bill), Jasmine Lukuku (Valerie).
Writer, creator and showrunner Graham Moore said in a statement: “From the very beginning, I was so fascinated by both Sam‘s and Caroline‘s real stories. Those are both characters who I could not have possibly made up had I tried — I’m not nearly a good enough writer to create characters as fascinating as either Sam Bankman-Fried or Caroline Ellison…This form [of storytelling] allowed us to tell not just a kind of headline version of the story, but to tell what we believed was the much more fascinating, intimate, personal, deeply heartbreaking story of these two people.”
“I think viewers will find our deeply intimate story of these two individuals with morally conflicted motives fascinating, and will ultimately have a better understanding of why they did what they did,” added writer and co-showrunner Jacqueline Hoyt.
