Bet cast: All the stars of Netflix's live-action adaptation of Kakegurui and where you've seen them before
From Star Trek to Workin' Moms, here's where you recognise the cast of Bet from
Bet is Netflix's latest live-action based on the manga Kakegurui.
From creator Simon Barry, the teen drama focuses on St. Dominic’s, an elite private school where underground gambling rules the social scene.
When a a mysterious new student with serious skills - and a score to settle - arrives, the whole system is shaken up.
"When the Bet creative team set out to develop a series inspired by Kakegurui, we knew there was no point trying to reproduce the original, as it stands on its own and works perfectly,” Barry, the series’ director and showrunner, told Netflix.
"Instead, we chose to be directed by the spirit Kakegurui inhabits in tone, audaciousness, and fun. To that end, we made something ‘birthed’ from the source material that inspired a new take - one that pays homage to it and doesn’t try to replace it."
The 10 part thriller stars Miku Martineau, Ayo Solanke, and Eve Edwards.
