Meet the Cast of Altered Carbon | Characters and Actors

No body lives forever.

Released on February 02, 2018
Drama Sci-Fi & Fantasy

In the captivating world of "Altered Carbon," the characters are as intriguing as the storyline itself. The protagonist, Takeshi Kovacs, is portrayed by the talented Joel Kinnaman. Kovacs, a former soldier turned investigator, is a character with a complex past and a present filled with challenges. He is a man out of time, having been imprisoned for 250 years, only to be awakened in a new body, known as a "sleeve," in a future he barely recognizes.

Martha Higareda brings to life the character of Kristin Ortega, a tenacious and determined detective. Ortega is a woman who is not afraid to bend the rules to get what she wants, making her a formidable force in the world of "Altered Carbon." Her path crosses with Kovacs, leading to a dynamic and often tense partnership.

The narrative of "Altered Carbon" is as compelling as its characters. After 250 years of being on ice, Kovacs is given a chance to win his freedom. This opportunity comes in the form of a complex murder case that only someone with his unique skills and experiences can solve. The murder mystery is not just a simple whodunit; it's a mind-bending puzzle that challenges the viewers' perceptions and keeps them on the edge of their seats. The stakes are high, and the path to the truth is filled with twists and turns, making "Altered Carbon" a must-watch for fans of sci-fi and mystery genres.

Altered Carbon ran for 2 seasons.
