Sugar Season 2 adds major stars to the new installment

Colin Farrell's Sugar has just been joined by three new stars for its second season, and things are looking right up for the latest installment of the Apple TV series. Jin Ha, Laura Donnelly and Tony Dalton are the newest regulars on the show that also stars Kirby, Amy Ryan, Dennis Boutsikaris and Nate Corddry.

You might know Jin Ha from his performance as Solomon Baek in Pachinko. Apart from that, he has also been a part of Devs, Love Life and the musical Hamilton.

His latest performance was Marshall P. Pope in Hulu's highly successful series Only Murders In The Building where he plays the role of a writer for a show and is ultimately revealed to be the murderer of the season, having killed Sazz Pataki. The show won the award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series this year at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Laura Donnelly has previously worked on Outlander, Beowulf and HBO's The Nevers. She has had multiple recurring small characters cross television, and her contribution to Sugar will surely be another milestone in her career.

Tony Dalton is well known for his role as Lalo Salamanca in Better Call Saul and as Jack Duquesne in MCU's Hawkeye.

As for the nature of their roles, Deadline has reported that Jin Ha's role is of a boxer who would find himself in recurring trouble, Donnelly will play the role of a woman who resists Farrell's Sugar's charms and Dalton is cast as a Lieutenant.
