Kings of America Plot and Cast

The reason we bought up the comparison with Succession earlier is that Kings of America tackles a rich empire in the form of a lawsuit against Walmart. Walmart is notably a mostly owned Walton family, the wealthiest family in America with a net worth of $247 billion.

Here’s what the series, which is based on a true story, follows three powerful women whose lives were inextricably intertwined with the world’s largest company: a Walmart heiress, a maverick executive, and a longtime Walmart saleswoman and preacher who dared to fight against the retail giant in the biggest class action lawsuit in US history.

Only one cast member has been confirmed thus far in the form of Amy Adams who will be playing the role of Julie Rome. Described as a bright, blonde-haired, and blue-eyed city girl, she’s going to stand out like a sore thumb in the country.

Other characters that will feature in the series include Betty Duke, an African American who is described as a smart charismatic preacher. They’re also looking to cast Roy Scott, a Texan who was “born for the upper echelons of corporate America” and described as akin to George W. Bush. Finally, they’re casting for a billionaire businessman named Jim and a Navy SEAL called Steve Hall.
