The decision to replace Iron Fist alum Jones -- who was cast last Friday -- was a creative one after the pilot's initial table read, according to TVLine. Payne will take on the role of an NYPD criminal psychologist whose dad, played by Michael Sheen, is a notorious serial killer known as The Surgeon. Scandal's Bellamy Young plays his mom.
