A Man in Full’s Charlie Croker is on top of the business world… which just means he’s got a long way to fall.

Netflix has released a trailer for the upcoming drama based on the bestselling Tom Wolfe novel, with Emmy winner Jeff Daniels (The Newsroom) starring as Charlie Croker, a wealthy Atlanta real estate tycoon with a thick Southern drawl whose world comes crashing down when he suddenly faces bankruptcy. But he’s not going down without a fight — and without grabbing a few rattlesnakes with his bare hands, either. “When people try to take you down, it’s a gift,” he boasts. “I’m tougher than all of you put together.”

Daniels is joined by Diane Lane (FEUD: Capote Vs. the Swans) as Charlie’s ex-wife Martha, with a supporting cast that includes Lucy Liu (Elementary), Tom Pelphrey (Ozark), William Jackson Harper (The Good Place) and Bill Camp (The Queen’s Gambit). David E. Kelley (Big Little Lies) writes the six-episode series and serves as showrunner, with actress Regina King directing three episodes and Tommy Schlamme (The West Wing) directing the other three.
