The 10-episode series, which stars Dennis Quaid, Kate Bosworth, Cary Elwes and Christian Cooke, is set in the cutthroat art auction house world. Cooke plays Graham Connor, a blue-collar upstart who breaks into this arena where his eccentric mentor (Elwes), a billionaire art collector (Quaid) and a beautiful auction house exec (Bosworth) also dwell. Crackle released the trailer above. Joining the cast at TCA today were creator/writer/executive producer Chuck Rose and EP Gardner Stern. Quaid also serves as EP along with Laurence Mark, Gary Fleder and Tamara Chestna.

Crackle also announced added features to its “Always On” design that creates a seamless streaming experience, similar to TV. As soon as a viewer launches the Crackle app, a scheduled program will begin playing and consumers can browse for something else in the channel guide while continuing to watch what’s currently on.
Crackle will offer multiple channels of themed content that will vary throughout day parts – daytime, primetime and late night. The “Always On” feature is currently available on Roku and will be launching on a variety of other platforms this fall.
