As mentioned, Beetz and Soderbergh previously worked together on the film, “High Flying Bird,” which debuted on Netflix back in 2019. Since then, she has continued to earn acclaim for her role in the series “Atlanta,” as well as in films such as “Joker,” “Nine Days,” and “The Harder They Fall.” Most recently, she appeared in the action film, “Bullet Train.” 

Soderbergh has kept incredibly busy over the past several years, directing films such as “The Laundromat,” “Let Them Talk,” and “No Sudden Move.” His most recent film is this year’s thriller, “KIMI.” Yes, that means since the release of “High Flying Bird,” he’s gone on to direct four more features. “Full Circle” marks his first TV series directing gig since 2018’s experimental show, “Mosaic.”
