It was announced on April 20th that actor and artist Non will appear in the TBS Sunday Theatre drama " Caster " (Sundays at 9pm) starring Hiroshi Abe . Since her debut, Non has been active in many movies, dramas and commercials, but this will be her first time appearing in a terrestrial drama in about 11 years, since " Tales of the Unusual'14 Spring Special" which aired in 2014. Non will play Shinomiya Kaede, a young researcher and "science girl" at Teito University, in the third episode airing on April 27th. Shinomiya Kaede announces a new pluripotent cell and attracts attention from around the world, but for some reason she refuses to be interviewed by the media, and gradually suspicions of research falsification begin to be whispered on social media.

Non commented, "I will be appearing in the Sunday Theatre drama ' Caster.' I had a wonderful and stimulating time. I was thrilled by the story, which was realistic yet hopeful. It was great to be able to co-star with Hiroshi Abe for the first time in about 12 years. I worked with director Kanai Hiroshi when he was an assistant director and I could barely carry a tray while acting, so it was a strange feeling to be able to reminisce about embarrassing times! Please be sure to check out ' Caster,' created by a wonderful cast and staff."

It was also announced that Kai Inowaki will play Makoto Kuribayashi, an associate professor who supports Shinomiya's research, Tsuyoshi Toshiki will play Shoichi Kosaka, and Mari Hanafusa will play Motoko Onodera.

The drama is a social entertainment series about a TV news program that pursues the truth buried in the dark and punishes evil. Abe plays the unconventional Caster Shindo Soichi, and the cast includes Mei Nagano as Sakikubo Hana Sakikubo , the general director who struggles despite being pushed around by Shindo, and Michieda Shunsuke of " Naniwa Danshi" as Motohashi Yusuke, a rookie AD with an aspiring journalist background who respects Shindo. The first episode, which aired on April 13th, recorded an average audience rating of 14.2% for households and 8.7% for individuals (according to Video Research, Kanto region, same below), and has also been a hot topic for getting off to a good start.
