Margarita Levieva joins James Franco and Maggie Gyllenhaal in HBO Pilot

HaydnSpurrell HaydnSpurrell Levieva (Revenge) has landed the co-leaad role alongside Franco and Gyllenhaal for the Pilot episode of HBO drama The Deuce, created by David Simon.

The Deuce follows the legalisation and subsequent rise of the porn industry in New York, exploring the rough-and-tumble world that existed in midtown Manhattan until the rise of HIV, the violence of the cocaine epidemic and the renewed real estate market ended the bawdy turbulence.

Levieva will play Abigail Parker, a college student who begins a relationship with a Franco-played nightclub owner. The owner is also a man who has ties to the burgeoning sex industry of early 70's Times Square.

Gyllenhaal playes Eileen Marrell, a hooker whose street name is Candy.

The Pilot is written and exec-produced by Simon and George Pelecanos, and directed by Michelle MacLaren (Breaking Bad).
