The series, from Jerry Weintraub, is directed by Jay Roach and penned by brothers Roberto and Kim Benabib.
"The Brink" is described as "an epic dark comedy focusing on a geopolitical crisis and its effect on three disparate and desperate men: U.S. Secretary of State Walter Hollander (Robbins); Alex Coppins (Black), a lowly Foreign Service officer; and Zeke Callahan (Pablo Schreiber), an ace Navy fighter pilot."
Gugino, who has been seen on Broadway in The Road to Mecca, Desire Under the Elms and After the Fall, will play Joanne Larson, the wife of Walter Hollander (Robbins).
