They will join Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn and Taylor Kitsch. Rachel McAdams is rumored to be near a deal to play the fourth and final lead role, reported Deadline.
Davidovich, 53, will play Kitsch's mother Nancy Simpson, a former showgirl continually sucking on cigarettes and margaritas as she mourns the loss of male attention.
Frain, 46, who had a significant role on 'True Blood', will play Jeff Hunt, a ruthless police lieutenant.
Season two revolves around three police officers and a career criminal who must navigate a web of conspiracy in the aftermath of a murder.

The season will also feature 'Black Box' star Kelly Reilly in a series regular role, as well as Michael Irby, 'Suits' star Abigail Spencer and Leven Rambin in recurring roles.
Vaughn will play Frank Semyon, a criminal struggling to move in a legit direction. Farrell will play Ray Velcoro, a 'compromised detective'. Kitsch is set to play a detective, and McAdams, if cast, will play the third detective.
Justin Lin, who recently helmed the Scorpion pilot, will direct the first two episodes of the eight-episode second season, written by creator Nic Pizzolatto. Production will begin later this fall in California.
