According to Variety, part two will look at 'a virtual day-by-day account of the tempestuous relationship between Comey and Trump and the intense and chaotic first months of the Trump presidency.'

Holly Hunter will play Acting Attorney General Sally Yates

Showtime said, 'The Comey Rule is not a biopic of one man, but is instead the story of two powerful figures, Comey and Trump, whose strikingly different personalities, ethics and loyalties put them on a collision course.'

Kingsley Ben-Adir will play former President Barack Obama

In addition to Brendan Gleeson the show stars Jeff Daniels, Holly Hunter, Michael Kelly, Jennifer Ehle, Peter Coyote and Kingsley Ben-Adir.
