Based on the 2007 Paramount feature film, of the same starring Mark Wahlberg, Shooter has been granted a series order from USA Network. The cast has now added Cynthia Addai-Robinson (Arrow) alongside Ryan Phillippe (Crash), Emily Rios (Breaking Bad), and Omar Epps (House) in the USA drama.

As we perviously mentioned, the USA drama is inspired by author Stephen Hunter's novel, Point of Impact. The plot revolves around an ex-Marine sniper, Bob Lee Swagger (Phillippe), who is recruited to thwart a presidential assassination. Swagger hen becomes framed for the heinous crime.

According to Deadline, Addai-Robinson has landed the role of Nadine Memphis. In the storyline, Nadine Memphis (Robinson) happens to be an intuitive and determined FBI agent. Unfortunately, for the highly skilled agent, Nadine's headstrong personality has gotten her in trouble with the bureau in the past.

As the arresting officer of the would-be-assassin, Nadine is on the fast track for a promotion, but something tells her there's more to this case. Not realizing the depth of the conspiracy, Memphis unwittingly puts both her her life in jeopardy.

Check out who's playing what in the cast:

After breaking up with Barry Allen on the sophomore season of The Flash, Shanel VanSanten will play Julie Swagger, the wife and best friend of Bob. While the Marine sniper was deployed, Julie (VanSanten) remained tough and strong for their daughter. With her husband back at home, she worked hard to create their life together. With her husband living off the grid, Julie's marriage is suddenly shattered by the events that no one saw coming.

The Wood actor, Omar Epps, has landed the role of Swagger's former commanding officer-turned-Secret Service agent Isaac Johnson. After Swagger is put into action, Johnson (Epps) is ultimately the person responsible for the double-cross and framing him for the assassination attempt.

Emily Rios will play role of Nadine Memphis, an ambitious young FBI agent. Memphis (Rios) unravels a conspiracy with Swagger. At the center of the conspiracy, Memphis now has a target on her back. She is forced to form an uneasy alliance with Swagger.

No word yet on when Shooter will make its official premiere on USA Network.
