FACEBOOK WATCH's SACRED LIES
- Elena Kampouris, Kevin Carroll, Kiana Madeira and Ryan Robbins will play the lead roles on the upcoming drama created by Raelle Tucker.
- Kampouris (Before I Fall) will play Minnow Bly. Physically and emotionally scarred and handless, she is now in juvie for brutally beating a young man.
- Carroll (The Leftovers) will play Dr. Wilson, Minnow's mental health coordinator, a forensic psychologist working for the FBI, who's not your typical on paper psychologist.
- Madeira (Dark Matter) will play Angel, Minnow's roommate in juvie. A science buff and a convicted murderer - who claims she acted in self defense. She is intrigued by her handless new roommate, and her background.
- Robbins (Sanctuary) will play Samuel Bly, Minnow's father. Once a weak and susceptible man, he joined the cult hoping for a better life for him and his family. Fully believing that the Prophet speaks to God, he instantly becomes the Prophet's second in command.
ABC's STATION 19
- Brett Tucker has booked a recurring role on the upcoming drama starring Jaina Lee Ortiz and Jason George. He starred for four seasons in ABC's Mistresses (which also featured George) and recurred on FX's The Americans.

ABC's FOR THE PEOPLE

FACEBOOK WATCH's SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS
- Mamoudou Athie and Jovan Adepo are set as series regulars on the upcoming dramedy starring Elizabeth Olsen and Kelly Marie Tran. Athie has had recurring roles on Netflix's The Get Down and TBS' The Detour. Adepo starred in two seasons of HBO's The Leftovers and the Academy Award-nominated film Fences.
- Athie will play Matt, the kind of handsome that doesn't make a big deal out of itself, the kind of warm and funny that makes everyone feel more comfortable in their own skin. He was as accessible as Leigh (Olsen) was difficult, everybody's best friend. Five minutes into having a conversation with him, you were his best friend too.
- Adepo will play Danny, a razor-sharp, constantly simmering, darkly funny, difficult to read, and on the whole just plain difficult dude. He always thinks he's the smartest person in the room, and by his pretty specific and relatively narrow definition of intelligence, he usually is the smartest person in the room.
