Rough Diamonds is an eight-part Netflix crime drama revolving around the Wolfson family, a prominent dynasty of ultra-Orthodox Jews who work within Antwerp's infamous diamond trade.
The show sees the family rocked after their youngest son, Yanni, decides to take his own life, forcing Noah Wolfson — a long-estranged former member of the family — to leave the life he's built away from everyone else and return, prodigal son-style, to arrest control of the situation.
With the family business on the rocks and under threat from local crooks, Noah sets out to save the day. Will he manage to bury the hatchet with his former family members and stop the company's collapse?
Read on to find out a little bit more about the main members of the Rough Diamonds cast who are on hand to bring this conflicted family to life.
