Luke Cage has been keeping busy in quarantine.

Netflix on Wednesday revealed the expansive cast for its remotely-shot anthology series Social Distance, and it includes Marvel superhero-turned-Evil seminarian Mike Colter. Other notable TV vets appearing in the eight-episode drama include Orange Is the New Black‘s Danielle Brooks, This Is Us‘ Asante Blackk, Law & Order SVU‘s Peter Scanavino, Scandal‘s Guillermo Diaz and The Office‘s Oscar Nunez.

Inspired by the months-long pandemic-induced quarantine, the show — from Orange Is the New Black creator Jenji Kohan — tasked cast members with filming themselves from home (alongside real-life family members in some cases), while director Diego Velasco helmed the episodes remotely.

“Each standalone episode is told through a virtual lens and captures the unique emotional experience of being forced apart by circumstance and having no choice but to communicate remotely and rely on technology to maintain any sense of connection,” per Netflix. “Through these varied and deeply human stories, Social Distance aims to provide some much-needed catharsis during a tumultuous time while also capturing a snapshot of this singular moment in history.”

* Danielle Brooks with real-life mother LaRita Brooks and brother DJ Brooks; Marsha Stephanie Blake (This Is Us, When They See Us) with real-life daughter Rocco Luna; and Isabella Ferreira (Love, Victor).
