Anthony Ramos, who originated the roles of John Laurens and Philip Hamilton in the smash-hit Broadway musical Hamilton, is set as one of the male leads in Spike Lee’s 10-episode Netflix series She’s Gotta Have It, a contemporary update of Lee’s groundbreaking 1986 indie film.

Ramos will play Mars, portrayed in the movie by Lee. (pictured)
