“Castle” star Stana Katic and Odette Yustman have joined the growing cast of “The Double.”

The spy thriller, from Hype Park and Imagenation Abu Dhabi, is the directorial debut of scribe Michael Brandt, who wrote the script with his partner Derek Haas.

The story follows a retired CIA operative (Richard Gere) who partners with a young FBI agent (Topher Grace) to track down the killer of a senator.

Katic plays a feisty Russian prostitute who fiercely protects key information.

Yustman has the role of Grace’s character’s wife, a strong woman who raises a family while coping with her husband’s Bureau career.

“True Blood” star Stephen Moyer joined the cast earlier this week.

Production begins June 21 in Detroit. Hyde Park chairman Ashok Amritraj and executive vp production Patrick Aiello will produce with Haas and Industry Entertainment’s Andrew Deane.

Katic, whose feature credits include “The Spirit” opposite Samuel L. Jackson and “Quantum of Solace” with Daniel Craig, is best know for playing detective Kate Beckett opposite Nathan Fillion in ABC’s “Castle.” She is repped by UTA.

Yustman, who appeared on TV show “October Road,” appeared in the J.J. Abrams-produced monster movie “Cloverfield” and will be seen with Kristen Bell and Sigourney Weaver in Disney’s upcoming comedy “You Again.” Yustman is repped ICM and Evolution Entertainment.
