PEACOCK's PUNKY BREWSTER
- Quinn Copeland, Lauren Donzis, Oliver De Los Santos and Noah Cottrell will play the young leads on the pilot reboot of the '80s sitcom starring Soleil Moon Frye. Copeland appeared in the national tour of Waitress the Musical. Donzis starred in Netflix's one-season comedy No Good Nick. De Los Santos appears in the upcoming films Occupation: Rainfall and Home Plate. Cottrell starred in the 2018 film Skyscraper.
- Copeland will play Izzy, a street-smart, headstrong and adorable Punky-like girl for a new generation. Recently abandoned by her mother, she tries to hide her vulnerability, but finds a kindred spirit in Punky (Frye).
- Donzis will play Hannah, Punky's fashion-forward teenage daughter, who often feels like she's the parent and Punky's the kid.
- De Los Santos and Cottrell will play Punky's adopted sons, who are 10 and 12 years old, respectively. Even though they are brothers, they are complete opposites except when it comes to annoying their older sister.
