Beef actor Joseph Lee cast in Apple TV+'s Neuromancer

Emmy Award-nominated actor Joseph Lee has been cast in the Apple TV+ series Neuromancer. The series is a new 10-episode drama based on the award-winning novel of the same name by William Gibson. Lee (pictured) joins the previously announced Callum Turner and Briana Middleton. Lee will portray the character Hideo, who is a ninja bodyguard in the novel.



Created for television by Graham Roland and JD Dillard, Neuromancer follows a damaged, high-level super hacker named Case (Turner) who, along with his assassin partner Molly (Middleton), is drawn into a web of digital espionage and high-stakes crime to take down a corporate dynasty with untold secrets.

Neuromancer is co-produced by Skydance Television, Anonymous Content and Apple Studios, and is also produced by Drake’s DreamCrew Entertainment. Roland will serve as showrunner and Dillard will direct the pilot episode.

Lee had a series regular role opposite Ali Wong and Steven Yeun in the critically acclaimed Netflix series Beef. He received his first Emmy Award nomination in 2023 for portraying George Nakai in the limited series that is now being expanded to an anthology.

Lee’s television roles also include Lt. Mura in Paramount+'s Star Trek: Picard, CBS's NCIS: Los Angeles and TNT's Rizzoli & Isles.
