Andrea Riseborough has joined the cast of the Paramount+ limited series "9/12," where she will star alongside Jeremy Strong. The six-episode drama centers on the legal battle fought on behalf of first responders affected by the 9/11 attacks.

The addition of Riseborough to the ensemble cast further elevates the anticipation for this historical legal drama.
