The Joy Luck Club star Kieu Chinh has joined the ensemble cast of Apple TV+’s upcoming crime drama series Sinking Spring.
Chinh will play a crime family matriarch in the series, which “follows long-time Philly friends and delinquents who pose as DEA agents to rob an unknown house in the countryside, only to have their small-time grift become a life-and-death enterprise, as they unwittingly reveal and unravel the biggest hidden narcotics corridor on the Eastern seaboard.”

Michael Mando has reportedly been let go from the Apple TV+ series Sinking Spring.

As a result, the role has been recast, and Wagner Moura is taking over the position in the crime drama.

After years of portraying Nacho Vargas in AMC's "Better Call Saul," Michael Mando was set to star in another prestige crime drama about handling drugs. "Sinking Spring" is an exciting new project being helmed by the legendary Ridley Scott, that boasts plenty of talented folks both in front of and behind the camera.

A replacement for Mando has already been found in Wagner Moura, of "Narcos" fame.
Production on "Sinking Spring" began earlier this month in Philidelphia.

Better Call Saul alum Michael Mando won’t be making a return to the small screen in the Apple TV+ crime drama Sinking Spring: The actor has been fired from the series following a reported incident on set. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mando had a clash with a costar on the show, and though producers tried to “smooth things out,” the actor was ultimately let go from the project. Now Narcos actor Wagner Moura will fill the role, costarring with Bryan Tyree Henry (Atlanta), who’s also an executive producer on the series. The job marks a return to Apple TV+ for Moura, who appeared in Shining Girls on the streaming service last year. Based on the book Dope Thief by Dennis Tafoya, Sinking Spring “follows long-time Philly friends and delinquents who pose as DEA agents to rob an unknown house in the countryside,” according to the show’s logline.
