Walker, Tiffany Haddish as her daughter Leila, Carmen Ejogo as Walker’s business rival Addie Monroe, Garrett Morris as Walker’s father-in-law, Kevin Carroll as her longtime lawyer Ransom and Bill Bellamy as Ransom’s cousin Sweetness.

Walker was created by Nicole Jefferson Asher with co-showrunners Elle Johnson and Janine Sherman Barrois, directed by Kasi Lemmons (who recently directed Harriet) and DeMane Davis (of Queen Sugar fame), and executive produced by LeBron James and Octavia Spencer, along with Barrois, Johnson, Maverick Carter, Jamal Henderson, Eric Oberland, Christine Holder, Mark Holder, and Kasi Lemmons.
